At a Christmas party recently, I really enjoyed the way my friend prepared her roast beef tenderloin, which was served with an array of sauce and bread. Guests sliced their own roast beef and enjoyed it with the sauce of their choice. I thought it was a nice way to served Roast Beef Tenderloin at parties or gatherings. Get your guests to feel more casual, relaxed, and more at ease.
Roast Beef Tenderloin
Ingredients
1 (2 ½ lbs) Beef Tenderloin, trimmed excess fat and silver skin
1 to 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Sea Salt
Fresh or Dried Chopped Rosemary
Method
Preheat oven to 450˚F.
Using kitchen string/twine and tie around the tenderloin with equal spacing between each truss. Note: You can ask your butcher to do this for you.
Pat dry the beef tenderloin with paper towels. Rub the tenderloin with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper, sea salt, and rosemary all over the meat.
Heat a large cast iron pan over high heat and sear the meat on all sides until brown in color.
Place the meat in a baking tray and roast for about 20 to 40 minutes or cooked to your liking. When the tenderloin is cooked, remove from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for about 15 minutes before serving.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know roast beef was that easy to make. Thanks for the recipe. You wouldn't happen to have a great sauce recipe too, would you? :)
ReplyDelete@Angela:She served the roast beef with black peppercorn sauce, mustard, cream, and fruity chutney.
ReplyDelete@KY: You can try my Black Pepper Mushroom sauce. here is the recipe:
ReplyDelete1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Butter
½ Small Red Onion, finely chopped
200 g Button Mushrooms, halved and thinly sliced
2-½ tsp All-Purpose Flour
1-Cup Beef Broth
3 Tbsp Dry White Wine
Black Pepper
Sea Salt
Method
Place the olive oil and butter in a saucepan over moderate heat, add the red onion, and cook for 5 minutes. (Do not brown)
Add mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, mix in the flour and stir until well mixed.
Turn the heat on high, pour in the wine, beef broth, black pepper, and season with sea salt. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat. Let it simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp of butter or cream just before serving, if desired.
That looks simply beautiful. I love a great looking piece of beef.
