Beef Tenderloin
Description
The recipe uses a whole beef tenderloin, seasoned with either a seasoning mix or kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. The meat is refrigerated covered to let the seasoning penetrate, then brought to room temperature before cooking. Cooking occurs either on a grill or in an oven preheated to 400°F, aiming for internal temperatures around 140–145°F depending on thickness, which results in medium to medium-well doneness.
The cooking time is approximately 45 minutes, after which the beef is tented with foil and rested for about 15 minutes to redistribute juices. This resting step helps achieve a tender and juicy final roast. Temperature should be checked in both thick and thin areas to ensure even cooking.
This tenderloin is served sliced and pairs with a variety of side dishes for a refined meal occasion. Leftover meat can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days and reheated gently in the oven to maintain tenderness. The recipe also notes the option to adjust the final internal temperature to match personal preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 whole beef tenderloin Plan two 2″ filets per person
- 1 tablespoon seasoning mix Or just Kosher Salt and/or freshly ground pepper in place of Stone House, Stone House brand
