This main truly was spectacular! Beautifully colored, incredibly tender and absolutely delicious. As this was the first time cooking from this recipe, I did follow instructions/timing exactly and did use fresh herbs. To ensure I could follow the timing and not let the tenderloin tent to long, I did prep for the sauce hours prior to making the sauce. I chopped the herbs (placed in sealed container) and placed the remaining sauce ingredients on the counter for easy access (cream exempt). Just prior to searing the tenderloin, I added 1 tablespoon of butter to the oil for additional flavor. The tenderloin seared longer than suggested in order to pull freely from the bottom of the pan. I was concerned the extra time would create a 'crust' on the tenderloin yet it did not. When removed from the oven, the tenderloin looked under cooked yet a thermometer confirmed temp around 120 and after tenting for time it took to make the herb sauce, the tenderloin was a perfect MR from outside edge to middle. I doubled the sauce only because we are sauce people and when plating the tenderloin, placed sauce both on the plate under the tenderloin and on top of the tenderloin. Would not change anything about this recipe. As a note, if you do not own a cast iron skillet, it may be time to invest in one. Cast iron cooking does increase the flavor and end result of food. Bon Appetit!

Excellent way for preparing steak! I made New York steaks using this recipe and they were to die-for delicious! I subbed 2 Tablespoons whole Lactose-free milk with 1/2 teaspoon corn starch in place of the heavy cream. So very good. We especially love the pan sauce! YUMMMMMMMY!!!!!

I was a nervous nelly, having little previous luck with top stove or oven roasted beef tenderloins. With this recipe and the use of a large iron skillet and an iron dutch oven, my six expensive little beauties were PERFECTLY MEDIUM RARE after a two minute sear in BUTTER and oil (butter added), followed by a flip and immediately oven roasting for 11 minutes at 425 degrees. Delish. No spatter, no smoking oven, no sound. Perfect.

This was outstanding! The flavor of the pan sauce was so nice and rich! I wanted to drink it like a bowl of soup! I used club steaks instead of the tenderloin because it was on sale. This was very easy. Truly a delicious steak dinner that me and my hubby enjoyed.

Perfect method and just the right amount of flavor in the sauce to not take away from the natural flavors of the tenderloin. It was fabulous! We served it with sauteed mushrooms and garlic and loaded cauliflower (also from this site). This is an elegant meal, at a fraction of the cost of what you would pay at a restaurant. We'll be making this one again!

These might be the best steaks I've ever made. Might have to give up on my grill and do my steaks this way all the time. The cream sauce is really good as well, but I may pass on that sometimes in favor of more traditional steak sauce.

My family has renamed this "Filet Mignon with Awesome Sauce" . Very impressive recipe that even a novice can pull off. I was brave enough to try for Christmas dinner, and even my Dad, who proclaimed before trying that he really just likes the flavor of a good steak unaltered, really loved this recipe.

I used half&half instead of heavy cream. Still excellent!
10/03/2017
This was delicious. Only had dried herbs, but still worked well. I kept it in the oven for eight minutes so it would be a little more done, since I don't like rare meat and it came out perfectly, just slightly pink and VERY juicy!

Our tenderloins were not that thick so oven time was a lot shorter. Came out perfect. The sauce is unbelievably good.

This recipe was divine. I only changed one thing which was what another reviewer suggested - add some butter to the pan for the searing process. Also, I made this wth beef tenderloin not yet cut into individual servings so it did take longer to cook. I think I will cut them first next time. Served it for Christmas dinner and EVERYONE loved the sauce.

great recipe

this recipe is great. I did make a few alterations only because I wanted to use up some leftovers from a previous dinner. I cut up the beef into big chunks and cooked them to my desired temp in the skillet. I set them aside and made the sauce adding diced mushrooms, green onions and the herbs and spices. the sauce was a little runny so I added a tad of cornstarch and it turned out perfectly. will be making it again.

This made a wonderful steak. Will use this recipe again for sure.

Followed this recipe to a T, and they were delicious! My husband likes his beef well done, so I butterflied his and cooked the same time as mine - perfect!
02/16/2019
I did add mushrooms to this dish for my husband. I also added 2 Table spoons of Cornstarch to the sauce right after it was finished, because it was not thick. We both loved how it tasted. I also liked how I could use the sauce to keep the meat warm while my other dishes were finishing up.
12/02/2018
Better than the grill Did not use sauce just used garlic ,cheese, butter finishing sauce from Wegmans!!!!!!!!!!! My husband loved it :)
10/02/2019
I may have done something wrong but it was delicious will make again
03/28/2020
I followed the recipe exactly and it is delicious. The best I have ever had, even in a restaurant. Will definitely be my go to recipe. It was done perfectly. I could cut it with a fork. The sauce was divine and would have been better if I would have had fresh herbs but the dried worked.
11/16/2019
Excellent!!!!
04/19/2020
Elegant and easy. We loved it.

Fantastic. Made it for Valentine's Day. My boyfriend thought it was the best thing I've ever made him!
07/24/2020
Amazing and delicious recipe! The filets were so juicy and the herb sauce was exquisite. Definitely one of my favorites for black angus filets.
11/03/2015
this was amazing...
02/26/2019
This was perfect! Thank you!
01/02/2020
No changes - will definitely make it again.
09/28/2019
I learned this exact method years ago from Alton Brown I really like the sauce better from this version.
04/04/2019
Fantastic recipe! I had never made beef tenderloin like this so was nervous, but it turned out perfect. The sauce was amazing. I did add butter to the oil when seering and it worked great. Definitely a keeper.

Beef tenderloin was too expensive, I used pork tenderloin instead. It was a hit with a household of 8 adults.
11/16/2018
I made the steak, but not the sauce. Sear worked well, no sticking, and it needed one add'l minute in the oven
09/12/2019
I only had chicken stock . It worked perfectly. No chives so I used a handful chopped spring onion tops. This could become a Friday night special.
05/15/2018
First of all, this recipe is superb regardless of the fact that many injuries were sustained during the process. I mistaken the beef tenderloin for my own tenderloin(if you know what I mean;);p;))#relateable. They were similar in shape, size, and texture so my mistake was very acceptable to my standards. I quickly called 911 and they sent me to a hospital. They diagnosed me with a massive . Thanks buddy :p

This is a great recipe; followed the directions to a T & it came out perfect. I did sub beef consomme for the beef broth - a little richer - & let it reduce a little longer. Made it twice now & perfect each time!
01/03/2018
Delicious. Kind of over cooked the steaks because it took me longer than i expected to make sauce. Next time I will have all ingredients pre measured
10/11/2019
What a great recipe!! Over all the instruction are spot on for a great outcome. Will definitely be adding this to a keeper for future use. I found myself actually thinking, wow, I made this!!!
10/02/2017
I only had beef broth and not stock. Only thing I would change is to a low sodium stock or broth, and perhaps less salt patted on the steaks before searing. Otherwise it was awesome and out steaks were BEAUTIFUL.
01/13/2021
Followed a previous reviewer's suggestion to use 2 Tbs Milk and 1/2 tsp corn starch. Perfect for us. Replaced shallots with yellow onions, cause shallots .. yuck. Tenderloin flavor was still very noticeable. Fried mushrooms as a side dish. Meal will definitely become a staple.
01/01/2021
The steaks came out perfect. I did bypass the sauce.
11/08/2020
Only change was half butter and oil for searing steak. Had 1 3/4 " tenderloin filets baked for 10min. For medium rare. Pan sauce was very good.
01/17/2018
We made this, minus the mustard and wrapped in some good bacon. Fantastic.
03/10/2017
I made it exactly as the recipe calls and have since made it once a week!!!! Its phenomenal!
04/14/2019
Tried it today on our tenderloin and it's delicious!!!
10/22/2020
Perfect as is.

I loved this recipe. I substituted a few things to make it Whole30 and it was delicious. Instead of vegetable oil, I used ghee to sear my filets. I also used ghee to sauté the shallots. I didn't have deli style brown mustard so I used Country Dijon. I used a Whole30 compliant beef stock, substituted coconut aminos for Worcestershire sauce and substituted unsweetened almond milk for heavy cream. Finally, I had fresh parsley but none of the others so I used a 1/4 tsp each of chives, thyme and oregano. Delicious!
10/31/2019
Make as instructed but only had dried herbs and salted butter. It was delicious!
05/09/2020
Freakingggg phenomenal
02/15/2016
This was wonderful. The only reason I subtracted a star is because of the pan sauce - I really thought there was far too much worcestershire sauce in it. Also, for me it took much longer than five minutes for it to reduce. I love the recipe for the meat preparation, it's perfect as it. The sauce is good but not great. Overall, will definitely make again.
06/10/2018
The whole dish turned out perfect. I made this for my girlfriend's birthday!!! She was wowed!!!
09/20/2019
Just VERY good
02/15/2020
My filets were about 2 inches thick , my family likes their meat pink but not med rare.
08/13/2016
Very tasty!
02/09/2017
Best steak I've ever had! Only made a few little adjusment- had to use Dijon instead of brown mustard, whole milk and a sprinkling of flour to thicken instead of heavy cream, and dry seasonings instead of fresh. So great.
05/27/2018
Loved it! The steak came out perfectly. I need to give the pan sauce another go as it was my first attempt and it came out too runny. Overall fantastic, will definitely make it again.
09/24/2018
Excellent recipe. My go to for guests when serving beef. Delicious! Makes me feel like a real pro.
01/18/2019
Just finished eating supper. My wife loved the steaks, and so did I. I've made many stove top steaks but never the stove top to the oven steak. I certainly will do it more often now. I even used the Red Copper deep fryer pan I purchased a year ago. I was leery of using it, as I did not believe it was oven proof. It worked great! I set the temp at 450. Thanx for the recipe!
11/07/2018
yes, will make again, and again!
02/03/2022
Followed the recipe using Omaha Steaks. Very well received. Awesome steaks as well for starters. Sirloin tenderloins.
09/07/2021
Excellent! Easy to make with ingredients that I usually have on hand. The steaks came out tender and moist and the gravy had great flavor.
06/13/2021
Awesome recipe ! The author definitely knows his stuff just follow instructions and you'll have the tenderest piece of meat there is . I advise using a cast iron skillet as the author suggests, 10 stars ! thanks for sharing this recipe
07/04/2019
My husband really liked this recipe. It is our go-to weekend treat when we want some juicy tenderloin. The recipe is easy to follow - I didn't change a thing. Great dish and worth every star!!
12/12/2015
Excellent!!! Steak was melt in your mouth and pan sauce very flavour. Only finished in the oven for 5 minutes as I wanted it rare.
10/30/2019

02/22/2021
This was absolutely delicious and easy to make. The teaspoon of brown mustard is what gives it that unique flavor. The pan sear and oven finish made for a perfectly cooked steak. Total prep and cook time took approximately 40 min. We will definitely make this dish again.

Loved it!!! Meat was so tender.
