Have you ever tried Beef Tenderloin?

If you just answered no, then you are really missing out! Beef Tenderloin is whole a Roast of Filet Mignon! Filet Mignon is by far the most tender piece of meat on the cow. Or in other words, the Beef Tenderloin is a roast of melt in your mouth tenderness.

With this recipe, your Beef tenderloin will have the perfect Garlic and Thyme Crispy Crust on the outside and a tender, juicy, medium rare cooked center. It is absolute perfection and tastes like Heaven. If you’ve never had a correctly cooked slice of Beef Tenderloin you are in for a real treat!

YUMMIEST beef tenderloin recipe!

How to cook the perfect beef tenderloin:

So, the Beef Tenderloin is an entire roast of Filet Mignon.  Well, actually, to get a bit more technical, the tenderloin is a muscle. One that does very little work;  hence, it’s tenderness. But because it is a muscle, it is a very lean piece of meat. Which actually makes it healthier.

But don’t worry, I’ll ruin that. We’re gonna rub bacon grease all over the roast. Haha! Because it is so lean, there isn’t really much fat in it or on it. That means there wont be much fat to melt and moisten the meat as it cooks. This is the reason for the added bacon fat; To avoid any dryness in our beef tenderloin.

Foods to serve with Beef

Beef tenderloin is my favorite food in the world! So we have it for a lot of our big feasts (ie: Easter, Christmas, Thursdays…). Some sides I love alongside Beef Tenderloin include:

  1. Maple Glazed Brussels sprouts (switch out the ham for bacon when cooking it alongside the tenderloin and it will really blow your mind!!!)
  2. Garlic Smashed Potatoes  or Herbs and Cream Scalloped Potatoes
  3. BLT Burrata Salad
  4. Homemade French Bread

There are a myriad of other great options to choose from to serve alongside your beef tenderloin. As you can see from our pictures we went to town feasting on this bit of yumminess.
