Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Step 2: Season the beef tenderloin with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Step 3: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
4. Step 4: While the beef is cooking, sauté the mushrooms and garlic in butter until they release their moisture and start to brown.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Step 6: Gradually pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, whisking continuously. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, stirring occasionally.
7. Step 7: Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Step 8: Serve the sliced beef with the mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
