Ingredients

4 lbs. (1.8 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, divided
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
3 tbsp (45 mL) Garlic & Herb Rub, divided
¼ cup (60 mL) finely chopped shallot
2 cups (500 mL) shiitake mushrooms, sliced
½ cup (125 mL) red wine
2 cups (500 mL) beef broth
2 tbsp (30 mL) flour
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
Brush the tenderloin with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil and sprinkle the salt and 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the rub on all sides. Place in a large roasting pan.
Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 475°F (246°C) and continue roasting until the temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 25–30 minutes. (Add more time for more doneness.)
Remove the roast pan from the oven. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the mushroom sauce, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes. Add the shallot, mushrooms, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the rub to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the wine to the skillet and cook until reduced, 1 minute. Add the broth and whisk in the flour. Cook until thickened, about 6–7 minutes. Add the butter and stir until melted. Serve sliced tenderloin with the sauce.

Cook's Tips:

Merry Mushrooms: We love shiitake mushrooms in this recipe, but you can also try cremini or button. Swap in zucchini if mushrooms aren’t your favorite.

No Wine? No Problem: Swap the red wine with half the amount of red wine vinegar.
