Description
Tender, juicy Stuffed Beef Tenderloin filled with buttery garlic parsley breadcrumbs. A festive centerpiece that slices beautifully and tastes like pure holiday comfort.
Ingredients
2 cups plain breadcrumbs (from a 10 oz can)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 beef tenderloin roast (4 to 6 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, melted butter, and parsley to make the stuffing.
3. Place tenderloin on a board and, using a sharp knife, slice lengthwise about 1 inch deep while unrolling to lay flat.
4. Spread stuffing evenly over the flattened meat, pressing lightly so it adheres.
5. Roll the tenderloin back up tightly.
6. Secure the roast with butcher’s twine at 1 inch intervals.
7. Season the exterior evenly with salt and pepper.
8. Set the roast on a wire rack in a roasting pan.
9. Roast 50 to 70 minutes, checking with a thermometer: 145°F for medium rare or 160°F for medium.
10. Remove the roast when it is about 10°F below your target to allow for carryover cooking.
11. Tent loosely with foil and rest 10 minutes.
12. Slice into thick rounds and serve.
Notes
Let the meat sit at room temperature 1 to 2 hours before roasting for even doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Tie the roast tightly so the stuffing stays put and the shape stays even.
Always rest the roast so juices redistribute and the center finishes gently.
