How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Burgundy Sauce
- Pat 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add 4 slices bacon to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving 2 tbsp bacon fat in the pan.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup Burgundy wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Cook on high heat for 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup beef stock, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids, and return the sauce to the pan.
- Add ½ cup finely chopped onion and ½ cup finely chopped carrot to the sauce. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, mash together 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Whisk the butter-flour mixture into the sauce and simmer for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
- While the sauce simmers, sauté 8 oz sliced mushrooms in a separate pan with 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil until softened.
- Crumble the cooked bacon.
- Add the seared beef tenderloin, sautéed mushrooms, and crumbled bacon to the sauce.
- Cover and gently reheat for 10 minutes before serving. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread for dipping.
