BEEF TENDERLOIN MENU IDEAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a roasting pan, rub beef tenderloin with oil. Generously season with at least 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper.
• Roast, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees to 135 degrees for rare, 135 degrees to 140 degrees for medium, and 150 degrees for well done, 30 to 45 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
• Remove from oven; cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 minutes. Remove twine; thinly slice beef. Serve with horseradish cream and bearnaise sauce, as desired.

Steps:

• Mix parsley, butter, and 3 tablespoons Dijon together in a small bowl. Combine green and pink peppercorns with salt in a small bowl.
• Place beef tenderloin on a rack set on top of a heavy, rimmed baking sheet. Rub butter mixture over the tenderloin, coating well. Pat peppercorn mixture into the butter. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.
• Mix sour cream, remaining 3 tablespoons Dijon, and horseradish together in a small container. Cover and chill for 3 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Uncover tenderloin and bake in the preheated oven until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 135 and 140 degrees F (57 and 60 degrees C) for medium-rare/medium.
• Transfer to a serving platter and loosely cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with the sour cream-horseradish sauce.
