GARLIC & HERB BEEF TENDERLOIN RECIPE RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Beef Tenderloin Preheat oven to 475ºF. Tie up the beef tenderloin so that it is an even thickness the length of the tenderloin. Combine 4 tablespoons of the softened butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread butter mixture evenly over the entire beef tenderloin. Line a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack over the top of the sheet and the tenderloin on top of the rack. Roast for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 450ºF and continue to roast until the internal temperature is 5-10º shy of your desired doneness. (145ºF for medium-rare or 160ºF for medium). Depending on the size of your tenderloin roast, this can take anywhere from 25-35 more minutes. Rest for 15 minutes, during this time the internal temperature will continue to increase. While the beef tenderloin rests, make the butter sauce. For the Butter Sauce Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet. Add the herbs and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Turn off heat and add the remaining butter. Serve with tenderloin. Recipe Notes A 2-4 pound beef tenderloin will work with this recipe, just keep in mind that a smaller roast will cook more quickly and a larger roast will take longer. I used dried herbs in this recipe, but fresh can always be substituted. If you choose to use fresh, use double the dry amounts listed except for the oregano. I recommend using unsalted butter in this dish so you can adjust the salt according to your taste.
