Discover the secrets to a perfect beef tenderloin with Ina Garten’s fail-proof recipe. This simple yet elegant dish is a fantastic choice for any special occasion. Here’s how you can achieve a tender and juicy filet of beef every time.
Start by preheating your oven. Depending on the recipe, temperatures may range from 350°F to 425°F. Prepare your beef tenderloin by placing it on a rack in a roasting pan. An essential tip is that you don’t need to sear the beef tenderloin before roasting. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast to ensure perfect cooking.
For a flavorful twist, try adding soy sauce and melted butter over your beef. Seasonings like salt and pepper are also key for enhancing the taste. After roasting, it’s crucial to let the beef rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, to retain its juices and reach the desired internal temperature.
