Beef Tenderloin & Garlic Herb Pan Sauce

with Asparagus & Basil Roasted Potatoes

Beef tenderloin is ultra-special. True to its name, this cut is luxuriously tender—perfect for impressing your dinner companion (and yourself). Here, it’s seared to develop a deep brown crust and then drizzled with a rich garlic herb pan sauce. Like any great steak-centric meal, this dish doesn’t skimp on the sides. Roasted potatoes with basil oil are the perfect hearty accompaniment for scooping up any extra sauce, while tender asparagus adds a delicious bite.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

    Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Toss with a drizzle of basil oil to taste.

  2. 2

    While potatoes roast, trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. Halve and peel onion; mince one half (all for 4 servings). Thinly slice chives.

  3. 3

    Toss asparagus on a second baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.

    Remove from oven and immediately toss with half the garlic herb butter (you’ll use the rest later). Cover with foil to keep warm.

  4. 4

    While asparagus roasts, pat beef* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from pan and set aside to rest.

  5. 5

    Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for beef over medium-high heat. Add minced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in demi-glace and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off heat; stir in remaining garlic herb butter.

  6. 6

    Divide asparagus, potatoes, and beef between plates. Drizzle beef with pan sauce. Garnish with chives and serve.
