Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch medallions
• 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• ½ cup beef broth
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

1. Start by cooking the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef medallions with salt and pepper.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the beef medallions to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the medallions from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir well and allow it to thicken for about 3-4 minutes. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
7. Return the beef medallions to the skillet, coating them in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
8. Serve the beef medallions over the fettuccine, drizzling the creamy mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the beef medallions rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; medium-rare is around 135°F.
• Feel free to add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap beef tenderloin for chicken breast or shrimp for a different protein.
• Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for an extra pop of color and flavor.
• Experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or crusty baguette for sopping up the sauce.
• Roasted vegetables, like asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
