Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 large leek thinly sliced
  • 12- oz baby Portobello mushrooms diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby spinach tough stems removed
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves chopped
  • Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • lbs beef tenderloin roast butterflied
  • 1 large red onion cut into thick slices
  • 4 shallots halved
  • 6 medium rainbow carrots peeled and cut into 2” chunks
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup beef broth preferably organic
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.


    Sauteed Mushrooms in Pan
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables develop some color and most of the water from the mushrooms evaporates; approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and fresh herbs. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.


  • Place the butterflied beef tenderloin between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to a ½-inch even thickness. Brush the surface of the beef with the remaining olive oil and generously season with salt and black pepper, to taste.


  • Stir the Parmesan cheese into the mushroom-spinach mixture until combined.


    Adding Parmesan to sauteed mushrooms and spinach
  • Evenly spread the mixture over the beef tenderloin, leaving a small border (½-1 inch) around the edges.


    Filling spread on beef tenderloin
  • Carefully roll up the tenderloin like a jelly roll and secure with kitchen twine. Season the outside of the beef with additional salt and black pepper, as desired, and place in the center of a roasting pan lined with the sliced red onions.


    Rolled tenderloin in pan
  • Nestle the shallots and carrots around the beef and tuck in the fresh thyme sprigs. Add the beef broth and place in the pre-heated oven to roast until the beef reads between 125°F-130°F* for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer, approximately 35-40 minutes. (The temperature will rise another 5-10 degrees while resting).


    Vegetables placed around beef tenderloin
  • Transfer the beef tenderloin to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. If necessary, return the vegetables to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Transfer the veggies to the serving platter and pour the pan juices into a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and reduce for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the butter and stir to emulsify the butter and thicken the sauce.


    Stuffed Beef Tenderloin
  • Carve the stuffed tenderloin and serve immediately with the roasted vegetables and pan sauce. Enjoy!
