How to Cook an Angus Beef Loin Roast
Don't be intimidated by its beauty (and size). Beef tenderloin is actually insanely easy to make, thanks to a marinade made up of ingredients you probably already have, and a surprisingly quick cook time.
(P.S. A meat this perfect definitely deserves a good side. We recommended these Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.)
TEMPERATURE GUIDE:
Because the thickness of the meat will vary, we highly recommend using a meat thermometer. Follow temperature ranges below based on how rare you like your red meat! Depending on the size of your roast, it may take more or less than 20 minutes, so checking periodically is a good idea. Invest in a good digital probe thermometer with a silicone cord that's at least 4 feet long, attached to a digital display, and with an alarm. Leave the thermometer in (inserted in the thickest part at an angle) while the tenderloin cooks, with the display sitting on the countertop.
120º to 125º: rare
130º to 135º: medium-rare
140º to 145º: medium
As for the creamy horseradish sauce, DON'T SKIP IT. We used a mixture of yogurt + sour cream, but mayo would work too! For another classic sauce, try the beef jus from these french dip egg rolls, or this creamy au poivre sauce. Try fresh romesco for a fun, bright twist.
