Thai Grilled Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Tender beef medallions marinated in Thai herbs and spices, grilled to perfection, and served with a zesty lime-chili dressing.

⭐ Why This Recipe Works

The marinade infuses aromatic Thai flavors deep into the beef.
Grilling over high heat locks in juices while giving a smoky, caramelized crust.
The lime-chili dressing adds freshness and heat, balancing the richness of the tenderloin.

⏱ Time & Yield

Prep: 20–30 minutes
Marinate: 1–4 hours (overnight for best flavor)
Grill: 10–15 minutes
Serves: 4–6 (for 2–3 lb / 900 g–1.3 kg tenderloin)

🛒 Ingredients

For the Beef

2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed and cut into medallions or left whole
3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice (fresh)
2 tbsp brown sugar or palm sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1–2 Thai red chilies, finely chopped (optional for heat)
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp vegetable or peanut oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or Thai basil (optional for marinade)

Lime-Chili Dressing

2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp honey or palm sugar
1 small red chili, finely sliced
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
1 tbsp chopped cilantro

🔪 Method

1️⃣ Marinate the Beef

Combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, chilies, ginger, and oil in a bowl.
Rub the mixture over the tenderloin (or medallions).
Cover and refrigerate 1–4 hours. Overnight yields deeper flavor.

2️⃣ Prepare the Grill

Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F / 230–260°C).
If using a charcoal grill, ensure coals are glowing red for optimal sear.

3️⃣ Grill the Beef

Remove beef from fridge 30 minutes before grilling to come to room temperature.
Pat dry slightly to prevent excess smoke.
Grill medallions 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 135°F / 57°C).
For whole tenderloin, sear all sides over direct heat 2–3 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat and grill until 135°F / 57°C medium-rare.
Remove and tent loosely with foil; rest 10 minutes.

4️⃣ Make the Dressing

Whisk lime juice, fish sauce, honey, sliced chili, sesame seeds, and cilantro in a small bowl.
Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste.

5️⃣ Serve

Slice whole tenderloin into medallions.
Drizzle lime-chili dressing over the beef or serve on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro, Thai basil, or thin chili slices.

🍽 Suggested Sides

Jasmine or sticky rice
Grilled or stir-fried vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, baby corn)
Light Asian-style salad (mango, cucumber, or carrot ribbons)
Optional: peanut dipping sauce or chili-lime sauce for extra kick

💡 High-Value Pro Tips

Thermometer is key: avoid overcooking the tenderloin; aim for medium-rare.
Let beef rest 10 minutes to redistribute juices.
If grilling whole tenderloin, consider tying it with kitchen twine for even cooking.
Marinating overnight enhances flavor but do not exceed 24 hours — acid can start to “cook” the meat.
For a smoky flavor, add wood chips (hickory or fruitwood) to the grill.

🔄 Variations

Thai Herb Medley: Add lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, or Thai basil to the marinade.
Spicy-Sweet Glaze: Brush grilled beef with a mixture of honey, Sriracha, and lime juice.
Coconut Curry Sauce: Serve with a light coconut curry drizzle instead of the lime-chili dressing.

🏆 Final Result

Tender, juicy beef with vibrant Thai flavors, perfectly balanced with a zesty lime-chili kick — restaurant-quality dining in your own kitchen.

Beef Tenderloin With Cilantro And Mint Recipe

Bright, herbaceous, and restaurant-quality — tender beef finished with a vibrant cilantro-mint herb sauce (think chimichurri meets Middle Eastern zhug). It’s fresh, festive, and perfect for dinner parties or a special weeknight.

⏱ Time & Yield

Active prep: 20–30 minutes (plus 10–15 min for resting)
Total: 40–55 minutes (allow extra if you marinate)
Serves: 6–8 (for a 2–3 lb / 900 g–1.3 kg whole tenderloin)

🛒 Ingredients

For the beef

2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
1½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder (or 2 fresh cloves, minced)
1 tsp ground cumin (optional — lends warmth)

For the Cilantro & Mint Herb Sauce

1 big bunch cilantro (about 1½ cups packed leaves) — stems mostly removed
½ cup fresh mint leaves (packed)
2–3 garlic cloves
1 small green chili or 1 jalapeño, seeds removed for milder heat (optional)
Zest and juice of 1 lime (or 2 tbsp lemon juice)
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil (or neutral oil + a splash of olive oil)
1–2 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey or sugar (balances bitterness)
½ tsp ground cumin (optional)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional finishing: 1–2 tbsp plain yogurt (for creamier sauce) or 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts/almonds for texture

🔪 Method

1) Make the herb sauce (best first)

In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, mint, garlic, chili (if using), lime zest + juice, vinegar, honey, and cumin. Pulse to a coarse paste.
With the motor running, stream in the olive oil until the sauce is well combined but still bright and slightly chunky.
Season with salt & pepper, taste, and adjust acidity/salt. If you like a creamier finish, stir in 1–2 tbsp plain yogurt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready. (Sauce keeps 2–3 days refrigerated.)

Make-ahead tip: Sauce flavors mellow and meld—make 1–2 hours ahead for the best result.

2) Prep the beef

Remove tenderloin from fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking so it comes close to room temperature. Pat dry.
Rub evenly with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic (or garlic powder), and ground cumin (if using).

3) Sear for color

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat an oven-safe skillet (cast iron ideal) over high heat until smoking lightly. Add 1 tbsp oil.
Sear the tenderloin on all sides until a deep mahogany crust forms, about 2–3 minutes per side.

4) Roast to desired doneness

Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until internal temperature reaches:
- 125°F (52°C) — Rare
- 135°F (57°C) — Medium-rare (recommended)
For a 2–3 lb tenderloin expect 12–20 minutes (thinner roasts less, thicker roasts more). Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy.

5) Rest

Remove from oven when ~5°F (≈3°C) below target temp. Tent loosely with foil and rest 10–15 minutes — this redistributes juices.

6) Slice & serve

Slice into ¾–1 inch medallions against the grain. Spoon the cilantro-mint sauce over each slice or serve family-style on the side. Garnish with extra mint leaves, lime wedges, and a few toasted nuts if using.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Herby roasted baby potatoes or lemon-garlic mashed potatoes
Warm couscous, pearl couscous (israeli), or plain basmati rice tossed with butter and herbs
Grilled or roasted vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, asparagus)
Flatbread or warm naan for scooping the herb sauce
Light salad (fennel & citrus or arugula with lemon vinaigrette) to balance richness

💡 Pro Tips (High Value)

Thermometer is essential. It’s the fastest way to perfect doneness.
Let the sauce rest a little after blending — acids soften the raw garlic/mint edge.
If you prefer a charred, smoky flavor, finish briefly on a very hot grill instead of the oven.
For a one-pan finish, after resting the beef, return sliced medallions to the hot skillet for 30–45 seconds per side to re-warm and caramelize edges before plating.
Adjust herb ratio to taste — more cilantro for brightness, more mint for coolness.

Variations & Extras

Yogurt-Mint Twist: Fold the sauce into Greek yogurt to make a cooling crema — great if you want milder heat.
Spicy Kick: Add 1 tsp harissa or ½ tsp red pepper flakes into the sauce.
Asian Fusion: Swap lime for rice vinegar, add 1 tbsp fish sauce and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil for an umami lift.
Marinade Option: Rub the herb sauce on the tenderloin and marinate 1–4 hours before cooking for a deeper herb infusion (reduce salt in the rub because sauce adds salt).

Make-Ahead & Storage

Herb sauce: 2–3 days in an airtight jar in the fridge (stir before using).
Cooked tenderloin: 2–3 days refrigerated; reheat gently in sauce or slice cold for sandwiches/salad.

Final Result

Tender, perfectly rested beef with a punchy, herb-forward cilantro & mint sauce — bright, elegant, and delightfully unexpected. Want this as a printable one-page recipe card or scaled to feed 2 or 12 guests?

* 2 tablespoons fruity extra virgin olive oil

BEEF TENDERLOIN RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour the vinegar into a small saucepan. Place over low heat then bring to a gentle simmer and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup about 1-1/2 hours. The vinegar will have become syrupy. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer the syrup to a small bowl then cover and refrigerate until needed. Set aside 2 tablespoons for this recipe then reserve the remainder for another use. Let the beef stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

In a small bowl stir together the ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cilantro, salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on a large flat plate.

In a large nonstick fry pan over high heat warm the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the beef and sear turning as needed until browned evenly on all sides about 5 minutes. Let meat rest for about 10 minutes. Transfer meat to a cutting board and slice against the grain as thinly as possible.

Divide the slices evenly among individual plates folding the pieces and overlapping them slightly to cover the center of each plate. Scatter the cilantro, mint and green onions over the beef slices.

Finish each plate with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and the reserved balsamic syrup.

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

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)

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.
Pour in beer to deglaze, scraping browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce by about half (3–5 minutes).
Add beef stock and simmer 3–5 minutes to concentrate flavor. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire (if using).
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.
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.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Beef Tenderloin

2–3 lb (900 g–1.3 kg) beef tenderloin, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
1½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped

For the Garlic Horseradish Cream

1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2–3 tbsp prepared horseradish (to taste)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 tbsp sour cream (extra tang & silkiness)

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Season & Sear

Remove beef from refrigerator 30–45 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat beef 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 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.

🧄 Garlic Horseradish Cream Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).
Pour in cream and simmer gently 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in horseradish, Dijon, and sour cream (if using).
Season with salt and pepper; keep warm (do not boil).

🍽️ Serve

Slice beef tenderloin into thick medallions.
Spoon warm garlic horseradish cream generously over the beef.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

🥔 Perfect Pairings

Garlic mashed potatoes or potato gratin
Roasted asparagus, carrots, or green beans
Yorkshire pudding or buttered egg noodles
Wine pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah

💡 Pro Tips

Start with less horseradish, then add more—heat intensifies as it rests
Use fresh prepared horseradish for the cleanest flavor
Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and gently reheated
Add a splash of lemon juice if the sauce feels too rich

🔄 Variations

Roasted Garlic Version: Replace minced garlic with roasted garlic paste
Herb Cream: Add chopped chives or tarragon
Horseradish Crust: Mix horseradish with breadcrumbs and butter, broil briefly

🏆 Final Result

Juicy, elegant beef with a creamy garlic horseradish finish—confident, classic, and unforgettable.

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

For tenderloin

1 (3-pound) center-cut beef tenderloin roast, tied
1/2 cup cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated beef bouillon
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika (not hot)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Special equipment: a roasting pan with a rack; an instant-read thermometer

PREPARATION

Make sauce:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut off and discard top fourth of garlic head.

Drizzle exposed garlic with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, then wrap head tightly in foil.

Roast garlic until tender, about 1 1/4 hours, then open foil and cool.

While garlic roasts, simmer cream in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer to a bowl.
Squeeze garlic into a small bowl, discarding skins, and mash together with horseradish, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt using a fork.
Stir garlic mixture into cream, then chill until ready to use.
Roast tenderloin:
Increase oven temperature to 475°F.
Pat tenderloin dry.

Stir together pepper, bouillon, salt, cornstarch, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl.

Rub oil all over tenderloin, then sprinkle with spice mixture, rubbing it into meat.

Put tenderloin on rack in roasting pan and roast 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 425°F and cook until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 130°F, 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare.

Let beef stand on rack in pan 10 minutes before serving.
Cut beef into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with garlic horseradish cream.
