Description
Marinated Beef Tenderloin is a flavorful and tender dish perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pound beef tenderloin at room temperature
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 small shallots finely minced
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Ensure the beef tenderloin is at room temperature (set it out of the fridge for about 30 minutes).
- Tie the beef in 3 or 4 places to ensure it’s a uniform thickness throughout.
- In a large container or baking dish, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, shallots, brown sugar, horseradish, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together.
- Place the beef tenderloin in the marinade and coat it well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours, turning the beef in the marinade once during that time.
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and prepare a small roasting dish by greasing it.
- Remove the beef from the marinade and place it into the prepared dish, drizzling a few tablespoons of the marinade over the beef.
- Roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) for about 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium rare.
- Let the beef rest, covered with aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the beef overnight.
- Serve with horseradish sauce for a perfect pairing.
