Ingredients
- - Beef Tenderloin:
- - 2 lb 907g beef tenderloin, trimmed
- - 1 tsp 5g kosher salt
- - 1/2 tsp 2.5g black pepper
- - 2 tbsp 30ml olive oil
- - Gorgonzola Sauce:
- - 1/2 cup 120ml heavy cream
- - 4 oz 113g Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- - 1 tbsp 15g unsalted butter
- - 1/4 tsp 1.25ml garlic powder
- - Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Season the beef tenderloin with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet with the seared tenderloin to the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the beef tenderloin to a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- While the beef is resting, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, Gorgonzola cheese, butter, and garlic powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the rested beef tenderloin and serve it with the warm Gorgonzola sauce drizzled over the top.
