Print Recipe

A juicy, tender beef tenderloin roast paired with a bold horseradish sauce, perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners. This recipe guarantees flavorful, moist beef with a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 2.5 pounds beef tenderloin (900g to 1.1kg), well-trimmed center-cut roast
  • 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish (jarred, not creamy with mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Take beef tenderloin out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat beef dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub beef all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Tie roast with kitchen twine if uneven in thickness.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Sear beef on each side for about 2 minutes until deep brown crust forms.
  4. Transfer skillet with beef to preheated oven. Roast for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Remove beef from oven and transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil and rest for at least 10 minutes.
  6. While resting, whisk together sour cream, prepared horseradish, minced garlic, lemon juice, and melted butter in a small bowl. Adjust horseradish to taste.
  7. Slice beef tenderloin and serve with horseradish sauce.

Notes

Do not skip resting the beef after roasting to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Adjust horseradish sauce heat to taste. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream and butter with coconut or cashew cream and use fresh grated horseradish.
