Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for searing
  • 1 cup beef broth for gravy
  • 1 cup heavy cream for gravy
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce for gravy
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for gravy
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) adds a fresh touch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef tenderloin and rub it well.
Searing the Meat
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the beef tenderloin and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until nicely browned.
Cooking the Beef
  1. Transfer the seared beef to a baking dish and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes.
Making the Gravy
  1. In the same skillet, pour in the beef broth and scrape up browned bits from the bottom.
  2. Add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and stir. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Adjust the consistency with additional beef broth if necessary.
Finishing Touches
  1. Let the beef rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven.
  2. Slice the beef and arrange it on a serving platter.
  3. Drizzle creamy gravy over the slices and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Letting beef rest is critical for juicy results. Adjust garlic according to preference.
