Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and position rack in center.
2. Season tenderloin with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and thyme and let rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

7. Deglaze pan with red wine, scraping browned bits, then add beef stock, herbs, and Dijon mustard; simmer until reduced by half.
8. Whisk remaining butter into sauce, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
