- 2 lb beef tenderloin
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, wilted
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed)
- 1 tsp herbs de Provence
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Trim excess fat from the beef and cut a pocket lengthwise down the center.

- Stir in Parmesan cheese and herbs de Provence until fully combined. Remove from heat.
- Fill the beef pocket with the stuffing mixture; secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear all sides of the tenderloin until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes).
