How to Make Beef Tenderloin Roast With Mushroom Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Pat the 2-3 lb beef tenderloin completely dry with paper towels and place it on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan.
  3. Season the tenderloin generously with 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 4 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Roast for 35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Increase the temperature to 130°F (54°C) for medium. Cook longer if you prefer a less rare roast, checking temperature regularly.
  6. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, loosely tented with foil, for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  7. While the beef rests, prepare the sauce: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  9. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until browned and tender.
  10. Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  11. Gradually whisk in 1 cup beef broth, ensuring no lumps form.
  12. Add 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional), 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves.
  13. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  14. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. Slice the rested beef tenderloin and serve it with the rich mushroom sauce.
