This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic beef tenderloin dish, featuring a flavorful herb crust and a creamy blue cheese sauce.
Marinate the beef tenderloin in balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes, then pat dry.
Marinating adds flavor and tenderizes the meat slightly.
Combine sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
Mixing the spices ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the seasoning mix evenly over the tenderloin.
Ensure the tenderloin is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Place the tenderloin on a broiler pan and broil for 5 minutes on each side.
Broiling sears the exterior, locking in juices.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the tenderloin for 40 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness.
Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes until thickened.
Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in blue cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Whisking ensures a smooth, creamy sauce.
Slice the tenderloin and serve with the sauce, garnished with parsley.
Garnishing adds a fresh touch and enhances presentation.
