Ingredients for Beef Tenderloin With Blue Cheese
- Beef Tenderloin Steaks
- Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Blue Cheese
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides generously with minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Lightly coat a large skillet (cast iron is ideal) with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the beef tenderloin to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
- While the beef tenderloin is searing, in a small bowl, gently stir together the sour cream and crumbled blue cheese.
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Spoon the creamy blue cheese mixture generously over the sliced beef tenderloin. Serve immediately and enjoy!
