How Long to Cook Beef Tenderloin for Medium

Don't be intimidated by its beauty (and size). Beef tenderloin is actually insanely easy to make, thanks to a marinade made up of ingredients you probably already have, and a surprisingly quick cook time. As for the creamy horseradish sauce, DON'T SKIP IT. We used a mixture of yogurt + sour cream, but mayo would work too!

(P.S. A meat this perfect definitely deserves a good side. We recommended these Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.)

TEMPERATURE GUIDE:

Because the thickness of the meat will vary, we highly recommend using a meat thermometer. Follow temperature ranges below based on how rare you like your red meat! Depending on the size of your roast, it may take more or less than 20 minutes, so checking periodically is a good idea.

120º to 125º:  rare

130º to 135º: medium-rare

140º to 145º: medium

1. In a large bowl, mix together oil, vinegar, mustard, thyme, sprigs of rosemary, bay leaf, smashed garlic, and honey. Add meat to bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour or up to one day. Optional: Bring tenderloin up to room temperature before baking.
2. Preheat oven to 450º. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and fit a wire rack inside. Remove tenderloin from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, rosemary, and minced garlic, then place on rack.
