Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), and season the beef tenderloin with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika, then sear it in a hot skillet with a small amount of oil, until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, before transferring it to the preheated oven and roasting for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer to ensure precise temperature control.
2
While the beef is cooking, prepare the demiglace sauce by reducing 1 cup of red wine and 1 cup of beef broth in a saucepan over medium heat, until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally, about 10-15 minutes, then whisk in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, to enrich the sauce and add a touch of luxury, before seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar, to balance the flavors.
3
Toss the Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet, before roasting in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about every 10 minutes, to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
4
To serve, slice the beef tenderloin against the grain, using a sharp knife, and arrange it on a platter or individual plates, with the roasted vegetables and demiglace sauce spooned over the top, before garnishing with fresh thyme and rosemary, and serving immediately, to ensure the best flavor and texture.
