A delightful dish that blends savory beef with creamy, herby stuffing, perfect for holiday feasts.
Ingredients
- 1 beef tenderloin
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for searing

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper until well blended.
- Carefully slice a pocket into the beef tenderloin, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
- Generously stuff the mixture into the slit in the beef, packing it in as best as you can.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
- Transfer the beef to a baking dish and season it with your chosen herbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for a perfect medium-rare.
- Allow the beef to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Serve with roasted root vegetables or salad for a refreshing contrast. Allow leftovers to cool before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
