Perfect Beef Tenderloin
with Cracked Pepper & Red Wine Sauce

Buy your beef tenderloin - 6 - 7 lbs at a warehouse club.  You can cut 2 - 3 steaks from the thick end and 12 - 16 oz off the thin end for stir fry or other make ahead meals.  This leaves a well proportioned roast that cooks evenly.  Trim off excess fat, clip the silver skin with scissors to keep meat from bowing.  Tie with butchers string.

 Quantity Ingredients Preparation Notes

  •  Return pan to stove, adding wine mixture.
  •  Stir to scrape off any browned bits. 
  •  Pour into a small saucepan and set aside for sauce.

  •  Roast at 425 degrees until meat thermometer registers 130 degrees or medium rare - 40 - 45 minutes.
