Recipe

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 Chateau Poujeaux Moulis 2012 or a similar Bordeaux blend)
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
  2. Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Rub the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme all over the meat.
  3. In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. 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, or adjust time to your preferred doneness. Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest, loosely covered, for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, stirring to lift any browned bits.
  6. Add the beef stock and simmer until the sauce reduces by half. Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens into a smooth red wine jus. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Slice the beef tenderloin and serve it drizzled with the red wine jus.
  8. Enjoy this elegant dish alongside a glass of Chateau Poujeaux Moulis 2012 for a truly harmonious, terroir‐driven pairing.
