Pan Roast Beef Tenderloin

 

Seared on each side until golden & crisp, yet tender throughout. Preparing it in the pan means you are less then 30 minutes away from homestyle roast beef. The trick to this dish since you are searing it at high heat is to choose a more expensive cut such as tenderloin or filet mignon.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef, tenderloin or filet mignon
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to cover the beef
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted

Preparation Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cut the beef into 8 ounce pieces. Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the beef, coating thoroughly.

Pour in the olive oil and place the beef in immediately.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and sear on each side for about 5-8 minutes. The best way to tell if it is done is by using a thermometer and following this guide:
120 F = very rare
126 F = medium-rare
134 F = medium
150 F = medium-well
160 F = well done

Pull out each piece, tent them with foil or a lid and set aside to rest for 5-10 more minutes. This will allow the juices to come together and the temperature will raise slightly.

Deglaze the pan, by pouring in the red wine. Scrap up any bits and simmer for just a few minutes until slightly thickened. Pour in any beef juices that accumulate as the pieces rest. If desired, swirl in the butter to finish the sauce.

Slice thinly against the grain of the beef for sandwiches or cut in thicker pieces if serving for dinner along with the pan sauce.
