Ingredients
Scale
Beef Tenderloin
- 1 (3 pound) beef tenderloin roast
Marinade
- 0.75 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the beef tenderloin.
- Prepare the Roast: Place the beef tenderloin roast into a shallow, glass baking dish to allow even cooking and easy basting.
- Add Marinade: Pour 0.75 cup soy sauce and 0.5 cup melted butter evenly over the tenderloin to infuse deep flavor and moisture during cooking.
- Initial Bake: Bake the roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to start the cooking process and allow the surface to absorb the marinade.
- Turn and Continue Cooking: Turn the roast over carefully, then continue baking, basting occasionally with the pan juices or remaining marinade to maintain moisture, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Adjust cooking time as needed for your preferred doneness.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and tender texture when sliced.
- Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the beef tenderloin to your desired thickness and serve immediately for a fabulous main course.
Notes
- This tenderloin melt-in-your-mouth quality is achieved with minimal ingredients: just beef tenderloin roast, soy sauce, and butter.
- Basting occasionally during cooking helps keep the meat moist and enhances flavor.
- Resting meat after roasting is essential to retain juices and improve tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness—140°F for medium.
