Fit2Go Recipe: Oven Roasted Beef Tenderloin

WHAT IT IS:

Full of protein and flavor! You don’t need to be a chef, or even superior cooking skills to whip up this savory main dish!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • 2lb beef tenderloin roast
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 T garlic
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 T onion powder
  • 1 T dried or fresh chopped Thyme
  • 1/4 C red cooking wine
  • 1 small shallot chopped

 

Recommended Kitchen items: (For this recipe you will need knives, a cutting board, a baking sheet and food scale.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

  1. Preheat Oven to 500 degrees
  2. Pat the tenderloin dry
  3. Line a baking dish or baking sheet with foil
  4. Salt and pepper the tenderloin, add half of the garlic, half of the onion powder, half of the thyme, half of the smoked paprika and rub into the meat by patting and rubbing
  5. Flip the tenderloin over and repeat with the other half of each seasoning
  6. Make sure the seasoning is rubbed in thoroughly and all sides of the meat are coated
  7. Pull the edges of the foil up around the tenderloin to sort of form a little bowl around the tenderloin.
  8. Pour the red wine over the tenderloin
  9. Add the chopped shallot to the top of the tenderloin (most of it will fall off and lay in the foil around the tenderloin)
  10. Tightly wrap the foil around the tenderloin
  11. Place in oven
  12. Bake for about 25 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 130-135 degrees for medium rare (suggested doneness)
  13. Remove from oven and remove from foil and transfer to a cutting board
  14. Allow to rest 5-10 minutes
  15. Slice and serve

 

Serve with your favorite veggie side! I suggest pairing zoodles with this dish which I have a separate recipe for!
