Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until beautifully browned.
  3. Transfer the seared beef to your preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes based on your desired doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Slice your French baguette into 0.5-inch rounds, brush each slice lightly with olive oil, and toast in the oven until golden brown—about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Thinly slice the rested beef and carefully layer it on the toasted baguette. Top with creamy Gorgonzola, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
