• 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
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

For the Roast Beef Tenderloin:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown.
5. 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).
6. Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For the Sautéed Mushrooms:

1. In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
3. Add minced garlic to the mushrooms and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in fresh chopped parsley.
5. Serve the sautéed mushrooms alongside the slices of Roast Beef Tenderloin.
