Instructions

Prepare the oven and vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

Pro tip: Roast vegetables in a single layer for even cooking.

Roast the vegetables

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by piercing the squash with a fork.

Sear the beef

While the vegetables roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Pro tip: Use tongs to handle the beef gently.

Roast the beef

Transfer the seared tenderloin to a roasting pan. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 15-20 minutes.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the beef.

Rest the beef

Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Pro tip: Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Top with cheese

Slice the beef tenderloin and arrange on a serving platter. Top with slices of Migneron cheese, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the beef.

Pro tip: Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese at its best.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dish with a full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the rich flavours of the beef and cheese. For a complete meal, consider adding a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Gently reheat the beef to preserve its tenderness and avoid overcooking.
