WINE ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN
INGREDIENTS
- ½ Beef Tenderloin (2.5lbs)
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 garlic head/ 7-8 cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, salted or unsalted
- ½ cup mixed whole pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup mini cherry tomatoes
- 4 fresh thyme sticks
- 1 Eat Smart Beets and Greens Salad Kit
INSTRUCTIONS
- One night before cooking prepare the marinade.
- In a large bowl mix red wine, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Rinse meat well and trim away some of the fat, but not all. Using a fork, poke the meat, this will ensure the marinade gets deep into the meat.
- Place meat into a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Place in the fridge for 24 hours, after 12 hours have passed, turn ziplock bag on the other side, to ensure uniform distribution of the marinade.
- Preheat oven to 475F.
- Remove meat from oven, discard the marinade.
- Add 4-5 tablespoons of oil to a small baking pan and set aside.
- Place a medium skillet over medium heat and when the skillet is hot add the remaining oil.
- When the oil is to the smoking point, place the tenderloin in the very hot pan to sear it. Be careful, as oil may pop from the skillet. Add 4 tablespoons of butter into the skillet and cover with a lid. Two, three minutes later, when one side is starting to turn nice and brown, flip meat to the other side and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Place the tenderloin in the pan and cover with ½ cup of freshly ground pepper and a little sea salt. Press the pepper onto the surface of the meat. Put 4 tablespoons of butter over the meat and top with 3 fresh thyme sticks. Add tomatoes to the baking pan.
- Stick the long needle of the thermometer lengthwise into the meat and bake it until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees, about fifteen to twenty minutes for a pink middle and about 30 minutes for meat on the medium – well done side.
- Remove meat from oven and let it stand ten minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.
- Serve the meat with the salad on the side.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best temperature to cook a beef tenderloin?
For the best flavour and temperature, beef tenderloin should be cooked at 135 to 140 degrees.
How do you roast a beef tenderloin?
Roast a 2-1/2-pound beef tenderloin at 250°F for 20 minutes, uncovered. Then raise the temperature to 425°F. Roast until an instant-read thermometer placed into the thickest portion of the meat registers 135 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 to 40 minutes). Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Should you sear beef tenderloin before roasting?
Searing and roasting beef tenderloin is the greatest method of cooking it. The tenderloin will have a lovely crusty brown exterior without being overcooked on the inside. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with just enough vegetable oil to cover it.
