Million Dollar Roast Beef Tenderloin Recipe
Ingredients:
4 to 5 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed, cut into two pieces, and tied
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp salted butter, softened
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp prepared horseradish or Dijon mustard
1 tsp minced rosemary or thyme
Directions:
Tie the tenderloin with butcher’s twine and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for about 2 hours before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides for 3-5 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, horseradish, and herbs. Spread this mixture evenly over the seared tenderloin.
Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Place the skillet in the oven (or transfer to a baking dish) and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare or your preferred doneness.
Remove from the oven and let the tenderloin rest on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm.
Servings: 8-10
