How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Pat the beef tenderloins dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the tenderloins on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
Place the thyme sprigs in the skillet around the tenderloins.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Tent with foil to keep warm.
While the beef rests, prepare the sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until melted and smooth.
Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
Slice the beef tenderloins and serve immediately, topped with the creamy Gorgonzola sauce.
