How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Mustard Tarragon Cream Sauce

  1. Pat 1 (1-pound) beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the beef tenderloin to the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side, or until a deep brown crust forms. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
  4. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes. Tent loosely with foil.
  5. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste.
  8. While the sauce simmers, prepare the potatoes: Toss 1 pound quartered red potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  9. Microwave the potatoes, covered, for 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Stir halfway through.
  10. Slice the rested beef tenderloin against the grain and spoon the creamy mustard tarragon sauce generously over the top.
  11. Serve immediately with the microwave potatoes. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs, if desired.
