Ingredients

Scale

2 beef tenderloins (about 1 ½ – 2 lbs each)
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1–3 tablespoons water, as needed to thin

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the beef tenderloins dry and season generously with salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and cumin.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, sear the seasoned beef tenderloins for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce; brush this mixture over the seared beef tenderloins.
Transfer the glazed beef tenderloins onto a baking sheet and roast for approximately 20–25 minutes or until they reach desired doneness.
For the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy whipping cream and additional mustard along with dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper; adjust consistency with water if necessary.
After cooking, let the beef rest for about five minutes before slicing and serve drizzled with the dijon cream sauce.
