Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Duxelles
Savor a refined twist on a classic dish with tender beef tenderloin encrusted in fragrant herbs and a crisp breadcrumb topping, paired with a rich, earthy mushroom duxelles that beautifully balances the dish in both flavor and texture.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Beef Tenderloin
100 grams Cremini Mushrooms
1 Shallot
1 clove Fresh Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Finely dice the cremini mushrooms, shallot, and garlic. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Sauté the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic with the thyme and parsley until the mixture becomes soft and the liquid evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste; set aside the duxelles.
Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub the surface with a light coating of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Press the whole wheat breadcrumbs mixed with any remaining chopped fresh herbs onto the top of the beef to form a crust.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef tenderloin for 1-2 minutes on each side until the crust is golden.
Transfer the beef to a baking sheet and spoon a thin layer of the mushroom duxelles over the top. Place in the oven and bake for about 7-10 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with any extra mushroom duxelles spooned over the top.
