How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Garlic Horseradish Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove the papery skin from the head of garlic.
  3. Lightly coat the garlic head with cooking spray, wrap tightly in foil, and bake for 1 hour.
  4. Let the roasted garlic cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves to extract the pulp, discarding the skins.
  6. In a small bowl, mash the garlic pulp and combine with 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well blended.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. Trim excess fat from a 2-3 pound beef tenderloin.
  9. Fold the thin end of the tenderloin under about 3 inches.
  10. Generously rub the garlic mixture all over the tenderloin.
  11. Place the tenderloin on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.
  12. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin.
  13. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, or 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium. (Cooking time will depend on the size of the tenderloin)
  14. Remove from oven and let the tenderloin rest, covered, for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
