Roast Beef Tenderloin

What Temperature Should I Roast Beef Tenderloin:

We cook our tenderloin at 450 for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 400 and cook for anywhere from another 15 minutes to 25 minutes until you reach your desired level of doneness. The best way to eat beef tenderloin is anywhere from rare to medium!  You do not want to serve this well done, it loses its flavor and becomes tough.  Please follow the chart below for our best cooking times.  You should invest in a cooking thermometer as well to measure the temp of your beef and ensure it’s at the temperature you want it before you cut into it.

• For Rare:  You will want to check after 10-15 minutes of cooking at 400. Rare will be about 115 degrees or up to 120.
• For Medium Rare: This will be about 15-20 minutes.  Temperature of the meat will be 120-125.
• For Medium:  This will be 20-25 minutes.  Temperature should be between 130-135.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that you must allow the roast to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes after pulling it from the oven before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
