Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 lbs beef tenderloin
2 extra-large beef bouillon cubes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tomato paste
fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 cup low sodium beef broth or 1 cup low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Poke the meat with a knife or thick skewer to make small holes all over. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the bouillon cubes, the garlic, mustard, tomato paste, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and the Worcestershire. Pour in the boiling water to dissolve the bouillon. Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush the bouillon cubes. Keep crushing and stirring until you've made a nice thick paste.
  • Rub the paste all over the meat, rotating it to coat all sides well. Transfer meat to a roasting pan, cover loosely with foil, and marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • While meat is marinating, set a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pour enough water into the roasting pan to come to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Place pan in oven and roast, covered, 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and rotate pan. Continue cooking and check after 10 minutes that there is still liquid in the pan; add ¼ cup hot water if needed.
  • Roast an additional 5 minutes for rare, an additional 15 minutes for medium-rare, and an additional 20 minutes for medium, or until center of roast registers the desired temperature on an instant-read thermometer. Rare: 125 degrees (total cooking time about 30 minutes); medium-rare: 130 degrees (about 40 minutes); medium: 140 degrees (about 45 minutes).
  • Transfer roast to cutting board, cover with foil to keep warm, and allow to rest.
  • Prepare gravy: Place roasting pan with drippings on a burner over medium heat. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add butter and stir.
  • Whisk in the wine, sherry, and beef broth. Add a cornstarch-water mixture, whisking until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Slice the roast. Serve on a platter over roasted green beans (if using). Serve gravy separately.

Categories     Beef     Roast     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Buffet

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

2½ pounds beef tenderloin
2 extra-large beef bouillon cubes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1½ tsps. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tsps. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
¾ cup red wine
1 tbsp. dry sherry
1 cup low-sodium beef or chicken broth
1 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp. cold water

Steps:

  • Poke the meat with a knife or thick skewer to make small holes all over. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the bouillon cubes, garlic, mustard, tomato paste, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in ¼ cup of boiling water to dissolve the bouillon. Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush the bouillon cubes. Keep crushing and stirring until you've made a nice thick paste. Rub the paste all over the meat, rotating it to coat all sides well. Transfer the meat to a roasting pan, cover loosely with foil and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator. While the meat is marinating, set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 F. Pour enough water into the roasting pan to come to a depth of ¼ to ½ inch. Place the pan in the oven and roast, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and rotate the pan. Continue cooking and check after 10 minutes that there is still liquid in the pan; add ¼ cup of hot water if needed. Roast for an additional 5 minutes for rare, an additional 15 minutes for medium-rare and an additional 20 minutes for medium, or until the center of the roast registers the desired temperature on an instant-read thermometer (rare: 125 F, approximate total cooking time 30 minutes; medium-rare: 130 F, approximate total cooking time 40 minutes; medium: 140 F, approximate total cooking time 45 minutes). Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board, cover with foil to keep warm and allow it to rest while you prepare the gravy. Place the roasting pan with all of the drippings on a burner over medium heat. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the butter and stir. Whisk in the wine, sherry and broth. Add the cornstarch-water mixture, whisking until thickened, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the roast beef tenderloin cooks evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the roast beef tenderloin. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the roast beef tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • Serve the roast beef tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, asparagus, or green beans.

Conclusion:

Marry Me Roast Beef Tenderloin is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your loved ones will cherish.
