Description
A tender beef tenderloin coated in a sweet maple glaze, perfect for a special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (2-3 lb) beef tenderloin
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 ripe pears, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Arrange the sliced pears around the tenderloin.
- Brush the tenderloin with maple syrup.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
- Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with the roasted pears.
Notes
- For a richer glaze, reduce the maple syrup slightly in a saucepan before brushing it on the beef.
- Ensure your pears are ripe but firm to prevent them from becoming too mushy during roasting.
