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.

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cover the dish with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours. (Remove the parchment paper from the top for the last 20 minutes to brown the top).

HERB-MARINATED TENDERLOIN
Tenderloin (sometimes called filet mignon) is the king of steaks. It's lean, tender, you can add any desired flavor to it and it will absorb it all, and you can cut it with a butter knife. This is expensive, though, so only cook this once in a while.

Steps:
- Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
- Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
- Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef tenderloin steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Marinate the steaks: Marinating the steaks in a mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
- Cook the steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness: Rare is 125°F, medium-rare is 135°F, medium is 145°F, and well-done is 160°F.
- Let the steaks rest before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
Herbed beef tenderloin steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steaks are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
