Category: Beef
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 2-pound butt-end beef tenderloin roast, well trimmed
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 cup beef broth
1/3 cup whisky
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter, room temperature
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 tsp coarsely crushed black peppercorns

Preheat oven to 400. Pat beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add beef to skillet and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add chopped onions, carrots and thyme to skillet.

Transfer skillet to oven and roast beef until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 120F for rare, stirring vegetables occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer beef to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Place skillet with vegetables over medium-high heat. Add beef broth and whisky and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until liquid is reduced to 2/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Strain sauce and return to skillet.

Mix flour and butter in small bowl until smooth paste forms. Add to sauce in skillet and whisk until well blended. Add whipping cream, crushed black peppercorns and any accumulated juices from beef. Simmer over medium heat until sauce thickens, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt. Cut beef into thick slices and arrange on platter. Spoon sauce over.
