recipes for whole beef tenderloin?

Answer 1

I have a few different recipes that I use, but this is one of my favorites! It's important that the beef is room temperature before you cook it, and also that you let it rest for 15 minutes after it's cooked, before slicing it. The Horseradish Cream is optional, but it's REALLY good!

6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 tablespoon prepared horseradish
5 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1 (4-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed of all visible fat
Horseradish Cream, recipe follows

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small food processor, puree the garlic, pepper, salt, horseradish, and thyme until smooth. Place the tenderloin on a clean work surface and cover evenly with the horseradish paste.

Place the coated tenderloin on a roasting rack. Roast for 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with horseradish cream.

Horseradish Cream:
1/3 cup prepared horseradish
1/3 cup non-fat yogurt
1/3 cup buttermilk

In a small bowl, mix the horseradish, yogurt, and buttermilk. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Answer 2

I know this seems strange, but it's perfect every time!

1 Boneless Beef Tenderloin, rolled and strung about 4lbs
Salt
Fresh ground Pepper
Garlic Powder

Meat must be at room temperature, so remove from fridge about an hour before putting in oven.

Heat oven to highest degree - 600 degrees

Place meat in shallow roasting pan that has been sprayed with Pam (makes for easier cleaning later) Rub meat all over liberally with seasonings.

Place meat in oven.

For rare meat cook for 5 minutes per pound, Medium rare 6 1/2 minutes per pound, medium well 7 1/2 minutes per pound.

At the end of cooking time turn off oven and let cool completley.

DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR DURING COOL DOWN PERIOD.

When oven is completley cooled, remove meat to warmed platter and cover.

Place roasting pan on stove, heat add red wine to degalze pan. When boiling whisk 2 tablespoons of butter into liquid and check for seasoning.
Slice beef, por a little sauce over meat.

Make sure to let it stand before cutting...at least 5-10 minutes.
