For the tenderloin, look for a high-quality cut that’s around 1-2 pounds in weight. This will ensure that it’s tender and juicy, even after cooking.

For the sauce, you’ll want to use a high-quality brand of heavy cream that’s rich and creamy. This will give the sauce a luxurious texture and flavor that complements the tenderloin perfectly.

Ingredients

2 pounds beef tenderloin

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 cups heavy cream

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp dried thyme

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Transfer the tenderloin to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

To serve, slice the tenderloin and serve with the creamy sauce spooned over top. Garnish with additional thyme and Parmesan cheese if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
