Instructions
- Prepare tenderloin: If your tenderloin needs it, make sure to trim the silver skin and tie it properly with kitchen twine. Season the beef generously with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper.
- Preheat oven: To 450°F.
- Sear the tenderloin: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet and sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the melted butter, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, and thyme. Next, brush the sauce over the tenderloin, ensuring all sides are evenly covered.
- Roast: Place the skillet into the oven and roast for about 25 minutes for medium-rare or until a meat thermometer reads 130°F indicating medium rare. Make sure you're inserting the meat thermometer into the most centre or thickest part of the tenderloin.
- Make yogurt sauce: In the meantime, in a small bowl mix together yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, horseradish, and salt and chill until ready to serve.
- Finish and serve: Once cook time has finished, remove from the oven and place onto a cutting board covered with aluminum foil. Let the tenderloin rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with yogurt sauce!

Notes
- A thermometer is the ONLY way to guarantee a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin just how you like it. 120º to 125º: rare; 130º to 135º: medium-rare; 140º to 145º: medium; 150º: well done
- Beef tenderloin will last in the fridge for 3 - 4 days when stored properly in an airtight container.
- To extend it's shelf life I recommend placing it into the freezer, properly stored - and it will last up to 3 months. Be sure to thaw in the fridge overnight before warming in the oven.
