Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Jus

Ingredients:

• 1.2 kg beef tenderloin, trimmed
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup red wine (preferably a portion of Château Chasse-Spleen Moulis 2018 or a similar Bordeaux blend)
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper, and rub it with minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time as desired). Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest, loosely covered, for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, add the chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits.
6. Add the beef stock and simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Stir in the butter until the sauce is smooth, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Slice the beef tenderloin and serve it drizzled with the red wine jus.
8. Enjoy this elegant dish alongside a glass of Château Chasse-Spleen Moulis 2018 for a truly harmonious, terroir‐driven pairing.
