Ingredients

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. It may be possible to buy a beef tenderloin from your butcher that's already tied.
  • Combine the red wine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, shallots, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large container or baking dish (for marinating), and whisk everything together with a fork or a whisk to combine.
  • Place the beef tenderloin in the marinade and coat it well in the marinade.
  • 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 and prepare a small roasting dish (without a rack) by greasing it with some butter or cooking spray.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade and place it into the prepared dish, drizzling a few tablespoons of the marinade over the beef.
  • Place the beef in the oven and roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches at internal temperature of 63 degrees Celsius for Medium Rare.
  • Let the beef rest, covered with some aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving with my Best Ever Horseradish Sauce.

Notes

A 2-pound Beef Tenderloin serves about 6 people (six 5-ounce servings cooked).
Serve with my Best Ever Horseradish Sauce.
To avoid overcooking, cook to one degree Celsius (2-3 degrees Fahrenheit) less than indicated. The beef will continue to rise in temperature slightly as it rests.

Temperature Guide:

  • For rare cook to 57 Celsius or 135 Fahrenheit
  • For medium rare cook to 63 Celsius or 145 Fahrenheit
  • For medium cook to 71 Celsius or 160 Fahrenheit
  • For medium well cook to 74 Celsius or 164 Fahrenheit
**Consult your local health authorities for food safety guidelines for cooking meats.**
