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

Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-8 oz. beef tenderloin filets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup butter divided
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper.  
  3. Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in an oven proof skillet.  Add steaks and sear on each side about 2 minutes or until well browned.
  4. 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.
  5. Melt the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter in a skillet.
  6.  Add garlic and flour to pan stirring constantly for 1 minute.
  7.  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.
