Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin (about 4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. 1

    Remove beef from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place beef on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tuck thin end under for even thickness during cooking.

  2. 2

    Brush beef with oil. Cook until a meat thermometer registers 140°F for medium, about 30 minutes. Remove beef from oven. Let stand for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, whip cream until stiff. Stir in horseradish, vinegar and salt.

  4. 4

    Slice beef. Arrange on a serving platter. Top with horseradish cream.

When time is really tight, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons horse-radish with 1 cup sour cream for a quick accompaniment for the beef tenderloin.

Great Pairings

Beer-Baked Potatoes

If nonalcoholic dark beer is not available at the local grocery store or is priced beyond your budget, you can substitute 1/2 cup chicken broth. The potatoes will turn out just as delicious.
