Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (2-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed, with silver skin removed

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

  • 2 dashes of hot sauce

  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a rimmed 10x15-inch baking sheet with foil.

  2. Place beef tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet. Rub with butter, then drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tuck tapered end of tenderloin underneath to ensure even cooking.

  3. Roast tenderloin in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium-rare, 25 to 30 minutes. 

  4. Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil; let rest for 10 minutes. (After resting, thermometer should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C)) 

  5. For sauce, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, and remaining 2 teaspoons Worcestershire in a small bowl. Slice tenderloin. Serve with sauce and garnish with parsley.
