Jerk Beef Tenderloin Recipe



Jerk Beef Tenderloin Recipe 

Bold Caribbean flavors meet a tender, luxurious cut. This jerk beef tenderloin is spicy, smoky, and elegant enough for a dinner party — yet easy enough for a weeknight if you shortcut the marinade time.


⏱ Time & Yield

  • Active time: 20–30 minutes (plus marinating)

  • Total time: 45–90 minutes depending on marinade length

  • Serves: 4–6 (for a 2–3 lb / 900 g–1.3 kg tenderloin)


🛒 Ingredients

For the tenderloin

  • 2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola, avocado)

Jerk marinade / paste

  • 3–4 scallions (green onions), roughly chopped

  • 2–3 Scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, stemmed (use 1 and remove seeds for milder)

  • 4 garlic cloves

  • 1½ tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (use gluten-free tamari if needed)

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 2 tbsp dark rum or 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or molasses

  • 2 tsp allspice (ground)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated if you have it)

  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh)

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil (to make it saucy enough to spread)

(If you prefer a dry rub instead of a paste: combine the dry spices — allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, salt, pepper — with 1 tbsp brown sugar and rub on the meat; skip the fresh aromatics.)


🔪 Method

1) Make the jerk paste

In a blender or food processor, pulse scallions, chiles, garlic, ginger, soy, lime juice, rum (if using), brown sugar, spices, salt, pepper and olive oil until a coarse paste forms. Taste and adjust heat/salt/sweetness. (If too hot, add more brown sugar or a little extra oil.)

2) Marinate the beef

  • Pat tenderloin dry. Rub the jerk paste all over the tenderloin, pressing it into the surface.

  • For best flavor: refrigerate 4–12 hours (overnight ideal). For a quicker option: marinate 30–60 minutes at room temperature.

3) Bring to room temperature

Remove from fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.

4A) Oven method (reliable, elegant)

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • Heat an oven-safe skillet (cast iron ideal) over high heat with 1–2 tbsp oil. Sear tenderloin on all sides until deeply browned (about 2–3 minutes per side).

  • Transfer skillet to oven and roast until internal temperature reaches: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare (recommended). Whole tenderloin usually needs 12–20 minutes depending on thickness.

  • Remove, tent loosely with foil, and rest 10–15 minutes.

4B) Grill method (smoky, authentic)

  • Preheat grill for two-zone cooking (hot direct zone and cooler indirect zone). Sear over high direct heat 2–3 minutes per side to get char, then move to indirect heat and close lid. Grill until same internal temp targets above. Rest 10–15 minutes.

5) Slice & serve

Slice into medallions (¾–1 inch) and serve with pan juices or a light finishing sauce.


🥣 Optional Finishing Sauce / Glaze

  • Whisk together 2 tbsp pineapple juice, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp soy; warm briefly, spoon over sliced meat.

  • Or melt 1 tbsp butter into the skillet juices and stir in 1 tsp rum or balsamic to finish.


🍽 Suggested Sides & Pairings

  • Jamaican rice & peas, coconut rice, or cilantro-lime rice

  • Fried plantains or grilled pineapple rings

  • Roasted sweet potatoes or crispy smashed potatoes

  • Quick slaw (mango or green) for bright contrast

  • Drink: dark rum, rum punch, IPA, or a fruity red like Zinfandel


💡 Pro Tips (High Value)

  • Thermometer = perfect doneness. Carryover heat will raise temp ~5°F (≈3°C) during rest.

  • If using Scotch bonnets, handle with gloves and avoid touching eyes. For milder heat, use 1 pepper and remove seeds.

  • For deeper smoke flavor on oven method: add a small splash of liquid smoke to glaze or finish on a very hot grill for a minute.

  • Make a double batch of jerk paste — it freezes well and also makes a killer marinade for chicken, pork, or shrimp.

  • To crisp the exterior after resting, quickly return slices to a smoking hot pan 30–45 seconds per side.


🔄 Variations

  • Caribbean Citrus Jerk: Add orange zest + extra orange juice to the paste for bright citrus notes.

  • Dry Jerk Rub: Use the dry spice mix (allspice + cinnamon + thyme + sugar + salt) rubbed on the surface and sear/roast as above.

  • Pineapple Salsa: Top slices with diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime for sweet-spicy freshness.


Make-Ahead & Storage

  • Marinated tenderloin: refrigerate up to 24 hours.

  • Cooked, sliced tenderloin: keeps 2–3 days refrigerated; reheat gently in sauce or serve chilled in sandwiches.

Bavarian Beef Tenderloin Recipe


Bavarian Beef Tenderloin Recipe 

A refined yet cozy Bavarian-style beef tenderloin: seared & roasted medallions finished with a mildly sweet beer–mustard cream sauce, served with spaetzle or buttered potatoes and braised red cabbage for authentic Bavarian flair.


Why this works

  • Tenderloin stays juicy because of a hot sear + short roast.

  • Beer + sweet-style Bavarian mustard (süßer Senf) + cream deliver a slightly tangy, gently sweet sauce typical of southern Germany.

  • Serve with spaetzle or dumplings to soak up the sauce — classic, satisfying plating.


Yield & Timing

  • Serves: 4–6 (for 2–3 lb / 900 g–1.3 kg whole tenderloin)

  • Active time: 25–35 minutes

  • Total time (including roast + resting + sides): 55–75 minutes


Ingredients

Beef

  • 2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed (or 1½ lb / 700 g if you want medallions)

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (grapeseed, canola, or light olive oil)

  • 1½ tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)

Beer–Mustard Cream Sauce

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp neutral oil

  • 1 small shallot, finely minced

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • ¾ cup (180 ml) Märzen / Dunkel / amber lager (or use a malty brown ale)

  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef stock (low-sodium preferred)

  • 2 tbsp Bavarian sweet mustard (“süßer Senf”) — or 2 tbsp good-quality Dijon + 1 tsp honey if unavailable

  • ¼–½ cup (60–120 ml) heavy cream (adjust for richness)

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for depth)

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (brighten)

  • Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley or chives to finish

Traditional Sides (quick)

  • Spaetzle (store-bought or see quick method below) or buttered baby potatoes

  • Quick braised red cabbage (see pro tips)


Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet (cast iron ideal) or roasting pan

  • Instant-read thermometer

  • Small saucepan for sauce


Method

1) Bring to room temp & preheat

Remove tenderloin from fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2) Season & sear

Pat tenderloin dry. Rub with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Heat skillet over high heat until hot. Sear tenderloin on all sides until a deep brown crust forms (about 2–3 minutes per side). If using medallions, sear 1–2 minutes per side.

3) Roast

Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until internal temperature reaches:

  • 125°F (52°C) — Rare

  • 135°F (57°C) — Medium-rare (recommended)
    For a whole tenderloin expect ~12–20 minutes depending on thickness. For medallions, finish on the stovetop or oven 4–6 minutes. Remove and tent loosely with foil; rest 10–15 minutes.

4) Make the beer–mustard cream sauce (while beef rests)

  1. In a small saucepan (or the same skillet wiped of excess fat), melt butter with oil over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté 2–3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  2. Pour in beer to deglaze, scraping browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce by about half (3–5 minutes).

  3. Add beef stock and simmer 3–5 minutes to concentrate flavor. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire (if using).

  4. Lower heat, whisk in cream and simmer gently until sauce coats the back of a spoon (2–4 minutes). Add lemon juice, then season with salt & pepper. If sauce is too thin, simmer a little longer; if too thick, add a splash more stock.

  5. Finish with chopped parsley or chives.

5) Slice & serve

Slice the rested tenderloin into medallions (¾–1 inch thick). Spoon the warm beer–mustard cream sauce over the slices. Serve with spaetzle or buttered potatoes and braised red cabbage on the side.


Quick Spaetzle (if you want homemade)

  • 2 eggs, 1 cup flour, ¼ cup milk, pinch salt — mix to thick batter. Press through a spaetzle maker or coarse sieve into boiling salted water. When they float (~1–2 minutes), scoop and toss with butter and parsley.


Pro Tips (high-value)

  • Thermometer is non-negotiable. It guarantees perfect doneness every time.

  • If you can find süßer Senf (sweet Bavarian mustard) use it — it’s milder and traditional. Substitute: Dijon + small amount of honey or apple butter.

  • Use a malty lager (Märzen / Dunkel) or amber ale — very dry pilsners will taste thin.

  • Deglazing the pan with beer after searing pulls all the brown flavor into the sauce — don’t skip this.

  • For extra depth, brown sliced mushrooms in the sauce step 2 before deglazing.

  • If serving a crowd, roast at lower heat (375°F / 190°C) for a slightly longer, more even cook for large roasts.


Make-ahead & Storage

  • Sauce can be made 1–2 days ahead; reheat gently and whisk in a splash of stock to revive.

  • Leftover sliced tenderloin keeps 2–3 days refrigerated; reheat gently in the sauce or slice cold for sandwiches.


Variations & Dietary Notes

  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free beer or replace beer with extra stock + 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Thicken with cornstarch if needed.

  • Dairy-free: Substitute cream with full-fat coconut milk (flavor shift) or use a beurre monté alternative (if tolerable).

  • Mushroom-add: Add sautéed cremini or chanterelles for earthy depth.


Pairing

  • Beer: Märzen, Dunkel, or a rich amber lager.

  • Wine: Medium-bodied red like Pinot Noir, Merlot, or a softer Zweigelt-style if you can find Austrian/German reds.

  • 12–16 oz (340–450 g) mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or mixed), sliced

  • 1 small shallot, finely minced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • ¾ cup port wine (ruby or tawny)

  • 1 cup beef stock (low sodium)

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • ¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Season & Sear the Beef

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • Pat tenderloin dry; rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.

  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat.

  • Sear beef on all sides until deeply browned (2–3 minutes per side).

2️⃣ Roast

  • Transfer skillet to the oven.

  • Roast until internal temperature reaches:

    • 125°F (52°C) – Rare

    • 135°F (57°C) – Medium-Rare (recommended)

  • Remove beef, tent loosely with foil, and rest 10–15 minutes.


🍄 Mushroom Port Sauce

  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add butter and olive oil.

  • Sauté mushrooms until deeply browned and moisture evaporates (7–9 minutes).

  • Add shallot and cook until soft; stir in garlic (30 seconds).

  • Pour in port wine, scraping up browned bits; simmer until reduced by half.

  • Add beef stock, Worcestershire, and thyme; simmer 8–10 minutes until glossy.

  • Stir in cream if using; season with salt and pepper to taste.


🍽️ Serve

  • Slice beef tenderloin into thick medallions.

  • Spoon warm mushroom port sauce generously over the beef.

  • Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.


🥔 Perfect Pairings

  • Creamy mashed potatoes or parmesan polenta

  • Roasted Brussels sprouts or green beans

  • Buttered wild rice or egg noodles

  • Wine pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah


💡 Pro Tips

  • Let mushrooms brown fully—this is key to deep flavor

  • Use ruby port for bolder sweetness, tawny for nuttier notes

  • Sauce can be made 1–2 days ahead and reheated gently

  • Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for extra depth


🔄 Variations

  • Steakhouse Creamy Version: Increase cream to ½ cup

  • No-Cream Classic: Skip cream for a pure wine reduction
