Steps

1 Done	Prepare the Beef Tenderloin 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Rub the beef tenderloin steaks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.
2 Done	Sear the Beef 1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 2. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin steaks and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until a rich brown crust forms. 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking to enhance the flavor. 4. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet and finish cooking them in the oven for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare (or adjust time to your preferred doneness). 5. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
3 Done	Make the Red Wine Sauce 1. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. 2. Add the chopped shallot and cook for about 2-3 minutes until softened. 3. Pour in the red wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits. 4. Add the beef broth and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half. 5. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4 Done	Serve 1. Place each steak on a plate and spoon the red wine sauce over the top. 2. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired. Enjoy your delicious Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Sauce!
