How to Make Beef Tenderloins With Roquefort Compound Butter

  1. Pat the beef tenderloins dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the beef tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the beef tenderloins from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. While the beef rests, prepare the Roquefort compound butter: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 ounces crumbled Roquefort cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  7. Slice the rested beef tenderloins and top each slice with a generous dollop of the Roquefort compound butter.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
