Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Porcini Crust: Grind dried porcini mushrooms, fresh rosemary, and black peppercorns in a food processor until coarse. Add sea salt and blend gently.
- Season the Tenderloin: Let the beef tenderloin rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, rub with sea salt, and press the porcini mixture onto all sides.
- Sear the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear each side of the tenderloin for about 2 minutes until browned.
- Roast the Tenderloin: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Insert meat thermometer into the thickest part and roast until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C), about 20-25 minutes. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the Red Wine Reduction: Combine port and red wine in a saucepan with fresh rosemary and black peppercorns, simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. Strain and whisk in butter.
- Serve: Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and drizzle with the red wine reduction.

Notes
For perfect crust, ensure even pressing of the porcini mixture. Use a meat thermometer for desired doneness. Store leftover tenderloin in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
