Preparation of Marinade
- 1
Make the Marinade

Marinating the Beef
- 2
Marinate the Beef Tenderloin
Place the beef tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Cooking the Beef
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 4
Sear the Beef Tenderloin
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Once hot, remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
- 5
Roast in the Oven
Transfer the seared beef tenderloin to a roasting pan and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 25-30 minutes for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer reads 135°F (57°C).
Serving

Rest and Slice
Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Garnish and Serve
Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
