Recipe Tips

  • Baste regularly: Keep basting the roast every 10 minutes to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
  • Use a meat thermometer: For the best results, check the internal temperature to achieve your desired level of doneness.
  • Let it rest: Allow the roast to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute and makes for a more tender bite.
  • Use fresh butter: Fresh, high-quality butter will give your beef a rich, creamy flavor that makes a difference.
  • Room temperature roast: Bring the beef tenderloin to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: Wrap leftover beef tenderloin tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap leftover beef tenderloin tightly in foil or a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftover beef tenderloin in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warm.
