How to Make Baked Beef Tenderloin With Diane Sauce

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan or baking sheet with foil.
Place the beef tenderloin on the foil.
Tuck the narrow end of the tenderloin underneath.
Fold the edges of the foil up around the tenderloin to create a sealed packet, ensuring juices are contained.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
While the beef is baking, prepare the Diane sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots or yellow onions and cook for about 1 minute, until softened.
Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and the juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Pour in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 4-6 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cut the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Serve the beef slices topped generously with the Diane sauce.
