Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef tenderloin
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, honey, black pepper, and kosher salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the beef tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results, turning the beef occasionally to evenly distribute the marinade.

Step 5

When ready to cook, remove the beef tenderloin from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Step 7

Sear the beef tenderloin in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms on all sides.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet with the beef tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 9

Remove the tenderloin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
