Boursin Beef Tenderloin Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2.5 to 3 lb beef tenderloin roast, cleaned and tied up

• 1 (5.2 oz) wheel Boursin cheese, Garlic & Fine Herbs kind

• 1 cup beef broth (pick low-salt if you can)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt (or however much you like)

• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper, plus extra for the table

• 1 tbsp neutral oil (for quick browning, it’s best but you can skip)

Boursin Beef Tenderloin: Directions

1. Dry the beef with paper towels. Tie it in 2-3 places with kitchen string if needed. Rub salt and pepper all over it, pressing so it sticks.

2. For best taste (but optional): Heat oil in a big pan on medium-high till shiny. Brown the beef on every side for 1-2 minutes each.

3. Put the beef in the slow cooker bottom. Bend it a bit if it needs to fit flat.

4. Pour beef broth around the meat. Break up the Boursin cheese and sprinkle it on top and sides so it melts into the liquid.

5. Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours. Check the middle with a thermometer—it should hit 130–135°F for pink-medium. Peek at 2 hours to avoid overcooking.

6. Move beef to a board, cover loosely with foil, and rest 15-20 minutes. This keeps it juicy inside.

7. Add cream right to the hot cooker juices and cheese. Stir till cheese melts smooth and thick. Taste and add more salt or pepper if you want.

8. For extra smooth sauce, set to HIGH for 5-10 minutes with lid cracked. Stir now and then till it coats a spoon. It gets thicker as it sits.

9. Cut beef into 1-inch thick rounds. Put slices on plates or a tray. Spoon lots of warm, herby cream sauce on top. Add fresh pepper and eat hot.

Serve sliced beef as thick rounds on warm plates, with heaps of creamy, green-flecked sauce. Pairs great with soft mashed potatoes, garlicky cauliflower mash, or noodles to grab the sauce. Try green beans roasted, steamed broccoli, or fresh salad with zesty dressing to cut the richness. Warm bread or rolls mop up extras. Sip a smooth red wine like pinot noir or cabernet.
