Ingredients
Scale
- 1 beef tenderloin (about 3–4 pounds)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth

- Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every side is well-coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

- Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
- Return the beef tenderloin to the skillet, making sure it’s nestled in the sauce.
