Recipe for Roasted Beef Tenderloin
Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Pepper Cream Sauce
Ingredients
For the Tenderloin Roast:
- 2.5 pounds beef tenderloin roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoons rosemary finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Gorgonzola Pepper Cream Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ lb Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Trim off the excess fat on your tenderloin roast with a sharp knife. Remove the silver skin from the roast. Tie with butcher's twine to help the roast keep its shape.
- In a bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Rub over roast to coat.
- In a large skillet heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the tenderloin roast on all sides in the hot oil.
- Transfer the seared tenderloin roast to a rack in a roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until desired doneness.
- Remove from oven and transfer the meat to a cutting board and cover with some tin foil. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice and arrange on platter.
- Heat a medium size saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter. Saute the shallots until tender.
- Pour in the heavy cream and allow to reduce by half. When reduced, turn the heat to low, and add the Gorgonzola cheese, stirring until it melts completely. Add the pepper and mix well. Season with a pinch of salt if desired
- Serve slices of tenderloin with Gorgonzola Pepper Cream Sauce drizzled on top.

Love this progressive dinner idea, and what a beautiful recipe! My in-laws make tenderloin for Christmas dinner every year, and I’m always in charge of bringing sauce for it. Usually I do a horseradish cream, but might have to give this gorgonzola sauce a try this year. Looks so good!
I would love to use my silpat to make sugar cookies

Would you give the baking time? I have never baked a tenderloin.
Do you know if/how the cooking times and temperatures would change if I replaced the tenderloin with sirloin?
Thanks so much!
I would imagine there would be some slight change and will depend of course on weight too. Tenderloin is an extremely tender meat, so it’s cooking requirements are a little different.
When making tenderloin can the Gorgonzola sauce be made ahead? If so how far in advance?
