Roast Beef Tenderloin

Roast Beef Tenderloin
  • 1/3 cup dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/2 pounds trimmed beef tenderloin roast, tied
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sliced shallots
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
  • 1 cup veal stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


  1. Combine porcini mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until soft, 1 hour. Drain and reserve liquid. Dice and set mushrooms and reserved liquid aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  3. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place beef in the skillet; cook until brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, and a pinch of salt; cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Pour tarragon vinegar into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom. Stir until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes.
  6. Pour in veal stock, cream, 1/2 cup reserved mushroom liquid, mushrooms, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Return beef to the skillet.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven until meat is medium rare, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Set skillet over high heat and bring pan juices to a boil.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and tarragon; season with salt and pepper to taste. Return tenderloin and any accumulated juices to skillet and serve.
