Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200 milliliters red wine
- 200 milliliters beef stock
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef tenderloin into 1-inch thick slices and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Thinly slice the yellow onions and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Deglaze the skillet with the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Add the beef stock, fresh thyme, and bay leaf to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the beef slices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet and allow to cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the beef is tender and infused with flavor.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the skillet before serving.
Serve the French Beef Slice hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or roasted vegetables.
