Description
A succulent beef tenderloin roasted to perfection, topped with caramelized French onions for a rich and flavorful dish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 lbs beef tenderloin
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the beef tenderloin with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the tenderloin to a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- While the beef roasts, melt butter in the same skillet. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (about 20 minutes).
- Deglaze the skillet with beef broth and balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve topped with the caramelized French onions.
