Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef tenderloin (trimmed)
- 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.25 cup Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the surface of the beef tenderloin.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for about 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
While the beef is roasting, prepare the Gorgonzola butter. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, Gorgonzola cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Mix until well blended. Transfer the butter onto plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Refrigerate until firm.
Once the beef tenderloin is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Tent loosely with aluminum foil to retain heat.
Slice the beef tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and serve with a pat of Gorgonzola butter on top of each slice.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
