Stuffed Beef Tenderloin

This Stuffed Beef Tenderloin features a tender, juicy cut of beef filled with a savory herb and cheese mixture, perfect for an elegant dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Kitchen twine, for tying

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Butterfly the beef tenderloin by slicing it horizontally without cutting all the way through, then open it like a book.
  3. Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  4. In a bowl, combine spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the inside of the tenderloin.
  6. Carefully roll the tenderloin back up and secure it with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
  7. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  8. Transfer the tenderloin to a baking pan and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  9. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the tenderloin with a balsamic glaze before roasting or serve with a red wine reduction sauce.
