Spicy Beef Tenderloins
This is my go-to steak recipe whenever we have a special occasion in our family. The combination of searing the outside of the steaks and then finishing the cooking in the oven yields a steak that will melt in your mouth. Serve with a caesar salad and twice baked potatoes, and for the adults…a great bottle of cabernet!
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in an oven proof skillet. Add steaks and sear on each side about 2 minutes or until well browned.
- Place steaks in a 350° oven and using a meat thermometer, cook to preferred level of doneness. (these steaks are superb at medium rare.) Cover with foil and let them rest while preparing the sauce.
- Melt the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter in a skillet.
- Add garlic and flour to pan stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- Gradually add beef broth, wine, and bourbon, whisking to a boil. Reduce heat and whisk for 5 minutes or until thickened. Serve sauce over steaks.
