Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a zip closure bag.
- Very lightly oil the tenderloin with olive oil.

- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium high heat.
- Sear the tenderloin for a minute or so on all sides.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels or a wire rack.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and heavily season it with salt until it tastes like the sea. Add the sliced potatoes and boil until tender and a paring knife easily pierces the potatoes, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the slices from the pot with a slotted spoon and lay on the prepared baking sheet to dry, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour about 1 inch of the oil into a Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high heat until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Once dried, fry the potatoes in batches, turning them occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the fries on the paper towels or wire rack. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside a little of the parsley for garnishing the steaks. Add the remaining parsley to the bowl along with salt and pepper to taste and toss.
- Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Season all sides of the filets with salt and use your hands or a pastry brush to coat them with oil. Sear until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Immediately transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of each steak registers 125 to 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the steaks from the oven and set aside on a plate to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Combine the wine, vinegar, thyme and shallots in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Boil until the wine is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, remove and discard the thyme and stir in the heavy cream. Stir in the butter a chunk or two at a time until melted. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place the steaks and fries on plates. Drizzle the steaks with the sauce, sprinkle with the reserved parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat the steaks very dry with paper towels; season both sides with salt and pepper. Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes while the oven pre-heats.
- Heat a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat for about one minute. Add the oil to pan and swirl to evenly distribute the oil. Place the steaks in the pan, allowing room between steaks. Cook without moving steaks for 2 minutes. Using tongs, lift the steaks and flip them over. If properly seared the steaks should release easily, without sticking to the pan. Immediately place cast iron pan into the hot oven.
- Cook steaks until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven and transfer steaks to a warm plate lightly tented with foil. (The internal temperature of the steaks will increase by about 5 degrees while resting.)
- Melt unsalted butter in the same skillet over low heat; add diced shallots. Cook and stir, releasing the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the deli mustard.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk in Swanson® Beef Stock and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to scrape up browned bits from the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk in the cream; simmer until sauce clings to the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley, chives, thyme, and oregano.
- Spoon the herb sauce over steaks; serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure the beef tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 135°F (57°C).
- To make the matchstick fries crispy, ensure they are cut into thin, even strips and fried in hot oil until golden brown.
- For a flavorful herby sauce, use a variety of fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Chop the herbs finely and mix them with melted butter or olive oil.
- To add a touch of acidity to the dish, squeeze some lemon juice over the beef tenderloin and matchstick fries before serving.
- For a vegetarian variation of this dish, substitute the beef tenderloin with grilled Portobello mushrooms or tofu.
Conclusion:
Beef tenderloin tournedos with herby matchstick frites is an impressive and flavorful dish perfect for a special occasion. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and paired with crispy fries and a flavorful herby sauce. This dish is sure to delight your taste buds and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
