Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 3-pound beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied into 2-inch sections
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish, or more, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Instructions

    1. To make the creamy mustard sauce, whisk together sour cream, Dijon, horseradish and chives; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
    2. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
    3. In a small bowl, combine vegetable oil, thyme and garlic.
    4. Let tenderloin stand at room temperature 1 hour. Using paper towels, pat tenderloin dry. Drizzle with vegetable oil mixture; season with salt and pepper, gently pressing to adhere.
    5. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Place into oven and roast for 15 minutes.
    6. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Continue roasting until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135 degrees F for medium-rare, about 15-25 minutes, or until desired doneness. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
    7. Serve immediately with creamy mustard sauce.
