Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound beef tenderloin tips
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Cut the beef tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the Beef: Slice onions and mushrooms. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the beef cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan; sear the meat on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 120°F. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Cool the Pan and Sauté Vegetables: Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet, then add mushrooms and onions. Sauté until tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Make the Gravy Base: Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables with flour, stirring to coat evenly. Add garlic paste, ground sage, and thyme, stirring to combine and release flavors.
- Add Liquids and Thicken: Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring continuously. Allow the mushroom gravy to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Finish Cooking the Beef: Return the seared tenderloin tips to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Cook together until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
- Add Cream and Final Touches: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the heavy cream to add richness. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Before serving, taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed for balanced seasoning.
- Feel free to use your favorite steak seasoning blend instead of just salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Beef tenderloin tips pair excellently with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to complete the meal.
- To reheat leftovers, microwave individual portions until warmed through to retain moisture and flavor.
