Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped roasted chestnuts, crushed coriander seeds, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper.
- Press the chestnut and coriander mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef tenderloin, ensuring it adheres well.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
- While the beef is roasting, prepare the browned sage and thyme butter. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the sage and thyme leaves and continue to cook until the butter turns a golden brown color, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the beef tenderloin is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced beef drizzled with the browned sage and thyme butter.
Notes
For variations, try adding different herbs or spices to the butter for unique flavors.
