Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

4 pounds whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
1.5 tablespoons Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic
1 tablespoon Ellbee's Original Gourmet Garlic
0.33 cup Ellbee's Rosemary Olive Oil
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
12 slices thick-cut bacon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
kosher salt and black pepper

Method

Whisk Tuscan Garlic, Original Garlic, Rosemary Olive Oil, horseradish, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the tenderloin and refrigerate uncovered for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 425°F. Lay bacon strips slightly overlapping on a board, set the tenderloin on top, and wrap the bacon around it. Tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.
Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven to 350°F and cook until the center reaches 125°F for medium-rare, about 20 to 30 minutes more. Rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Slice into thick medallions and serve with roasted green beans, grilled corn, and the resting juices spooned over the top.

Kitchen tip: Use an instant-read thermometer, not the clock. Tenderloin is lean and luxurious; pulling it at the right temperature is the entire game.
