Tips for Making Beef Tenderloins with Cranberry Sauce

  • To ensure the beef tenderloins are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The beef is medium-rare at 135°F, medium at 145°F, and well-done at 160°F.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the beef by cutting into it. The beef is medium-rare if the center is pink, medium if the center is slightly pink, and well-done if the center is brown.
  • Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • To make the cranberry sauce, use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using them.
  • Add a little orange zest to the cranberry sauce for a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Serve the beef tenderloins with a dollop of cranberry sauce and a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion

Beef tenderloins with cranberry sauce is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tart flavor that complements the beef perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
