1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix the Gorgonzola cheese, garlic, and rosemary. Cut a pocket in the tenderloin and stuff it with the cheese mixture. Season the outside of the beef with salt and pepper.

Sear and Roast

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Make the Port Wine Sauce

While the beef is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until soft. Pour in the port wine and beef stock, bringing it to a simmer. Reduce by half and stir in thyme, salt, and pepper.

Serve

Once the beef is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the port wine sauce drizzled over the top.
