Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • wire rack
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Beef Tenderloin

  • 3 pounds beef tenderloin, center cut, trimmed and tied
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Gorgonzola Sauce

  • 6 ounces gorgonzola cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 bunch green onions or scallions, green parts only, trimmed and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

Beef Tenderloin

  • About an hour before you are ready to cook it, remove beef from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
  • Place beef on a wire rack on a baking sheet with sides. Rub butter all over the beef and sprinkle liberally with kosher or sea salt and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
  • Bake until the meat thermometer registers five degrees below your desired temperature. It should take about 35-45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the tenderloin and its internal temperature when it goes into the oven.
  • Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let the meat rest for at least 10-15 minutes.

Gorgonzola Sauce

  • Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Beef tenderloin is one of the most expensive cuts of meat and is best served rare or medium rare. While the beef rests, the internal temperature of the meat will increase by about five degrees, so it’s essential to remove it from the oven when it’s about five degrees below your desired temperature. Rare – remove the roast from the oven at 120 °F to serve it at 125 °F. Medium Rare – remove at 130 °F for 135 °F serving. Medium – remove at 140 °F for 145 °F serving.
