Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the beef fillet in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the soy sauce over the meat, ensuring the whole fillet is well-coated with the marinade.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, let it marinate overnight to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Remove the beef fillet from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Heat the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it melts and starts to foam.
- Carefully place the beef fillet in the skillet and sear it on each side for about 2-3 minutes, until it has a nice brown crust.
- Transfer the skillet with the seared beef fillet to the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130°F (54°C). Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
- Remove the beef fillet from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful tenderloin.
- Slice the beef fillet into thick slices and serve immediately.
- Pair it with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Marinate the beef fillet: For the best flavor, marinate the beef fillet in soy sauce for at least 2 hours before cooking. This allows the soy sauce to penetrate the meat, making it even more flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer: To achieve the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. Aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare and 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium.
- Let it rest: After cooking, let the beef tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender result.
- Preheat the oven: For even cooking, make sure to preheat your oven to the desired temperature before placing the beef tenderloin inside.
- Sear before roasting: To lock in the juices and add a beautiful crust, sear the beef fillet in butter on all sides in a hot pan before transferring it to the oven.
Voilà! Your fabulous beef tenderloin is now ready to be served. The combination of the succulent beef and the flavorful soy sauce marinade creates a dish that is both elegant and comforting. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy the hearty, delicious flavors that this recipe has to offer.
