Steps

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sear the beef tenderloin in the skillet until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the beef to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until desired doneness.
• While the beef is roasting, prepare the wild mushroom sauce.
• In the same skillet used for searing the beef, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the red wine and beef broth, and bring to a simmer.
• Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
• Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
• Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• Serve the sliced beef with the wild mushroom sauce on top.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, you can marinate the beef tenderloin in red wine and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
• If you can't find wild mushrooms, you can use a mix of cultivated mushrooms such as cremini or portobello.
