Ingredients:
For the Roast Beef Tenderloin:
- 2 to 2.5 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

For the Sautéed Mushrooms:
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions:
For the Roast Beef Tenderloin:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
- Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For the Sautéed Mushrooms:
- In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
- Add minced garlic to the mushrooms and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve the sautéed mushrooms alongside the slices of Roast Beef Tenderloin.
