"I am in charge of our neighborhood gourmet club and we used this recipe at five different homes with 8-10 couples at each house. Everyone raved about how easy and delicious!!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 10

3. Add tenderloin, cover and marinate OVERNIGHT.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
5. Coat a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Remove the meat from the marinade and place on a rack like broiler pan.

10. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing crosswise to serve.

I made this for Christmas Dinner, my Dad only "thrives" on meat and I'm always looking to impress him, this knocked his socks off, it will be my Christmas dinner for along time to come. 5 star restaurant good!!

I made this for Christmas Dinner, and it was the Star of the Show!! Even the "non meat eaters" had seconds!! I'm going to make it again this week with a smaller beef tenderloin. It cooked much faster than the recipe stated, so keep an eye on it, and take it out early if it looks done!! I served this with home made rolls, fresh salad, roasted veggies, and hot pumpkin pies! YUMMY!!

I have served this for Christmas dinner for the past several years. The only changes I make are to marinate for at least three days, and to cook it on the grill.

This was the first time I had prepared a beef tenderloin whole, and it was a tremendous success! It will be a favorite "staple" in my special occasion recipe box. Thanks.
