🛒 Ingredients

For the Beef

  • 2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed, butterflied

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1½ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped

For the Filling

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, wilted and squeezed dry

  • ½ cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped

  • ½ cup goat cheese, crumbled

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Wine Sauce

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small shallot, finely diced

  • 1 cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir)

  • 1 cup beef stock

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


🔪 Method

1️⃣ Prepare the Beef

  • Butterfly the tenderloin: slice lengthwise without cutting all the way through to open like a book.

  • Place plastic wrap over and gently pound to even thickness (~1 inch) for even stuffing and rolling.

  • Season inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.

2️⃣ Make the Filling

  • In a bowl, mix spinach, roasted peppers, goat cheese, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  • Spread filling evenly over the butterflied beef.

3️⃣ Roll & Tie

  • Roll the tenderloin tightly around the filling.

  • Tie with kitchen twine at 1–2 inch intervals to secure.

4️⃣ Sear the Beef

  • Heat skillet with olive oil over high heat.

  • Sear beef roll on all sides until browned (~2–3 minutes per side).

5️⃣ Roast

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • Transfer beef to oven and roast until internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare (about 20–25 minutes for 2–3 lb roast).

  • Tent with foil and rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.

6️⃣ Make the Wine Sauce

  • In the same skillet, add butter and olive oil.

  • Sauté shallots until soft (~2–3 minutes).

  • Deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits.

  • Add beef stock, Worcestershire, and thyme.

  • Simmer until reduced by half and sauce is glossy (~8–10 minutes).

  • Season with salt and pepper.

7️⃣ Serve

  • Slice the stuffed tenderloin into 1–1.5 inch medallions to reveal the colorful filling.

  • Spoon warm wine sauce over each slice and garnish with fresh thyme.


🍽 Suggested Sides

  • Garlic mashed potatoes or creamy polenta

  • Roasted asparagus, green beans, or baby carrots

  • Light salad with arugula and citrus vinaigrette

  • Crusty bread to soak up wine sauce


💡 High-Value Tips

  • Butterfly carefully: even thickness ensures even cooking and prevents breaking.

  • Rest the meat: keeps tenderloin juicy and allows juices to redistribute.

  • Searing before roasting: locks in flavor and creates a beautiful crust.

  • Make sauce ahead: can be simmered gently while beef rests.

  • Presentation: slicing at a slight angle showcases the vibrant filling for a restaurant-style look.


🔄 Variations

  • Cheese options: substitute goat cheese with blue cheese, cream cheese, or fontina.

  • Vegetable options: add sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or roasted zucchini.

  • Herb twist: add fresh basil or tarragon to the filling for a different flavor profile.


🏆 Final Result

Tender, juicy beef with a colorful, flavorful filling, perfectly paired with a rich red wine sauce — an elegant, unforgettable centerpiece.
