Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 center-cut trimmed beef tenderloin (2 to 3 pounds)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 shallot, roughly sliced
  • Finely minced chives (for garnish)
  • Coarse sea salt (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Tie the tenderloin with butcher's twine at 1-inch intervals and season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate uncovered for at least overnight and up to two nights.
  2. Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C) and place the seasoned tenderloin on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Roast until internal temperature reaches 120-125°F (49-52°C), about 2 to 3 hours.
  3. Let rest for 10 minutes before removing twine. For added flavor, heat butter in a skillet until nutty brown, add thyme and shallots, then pour over the tenderloin.
  4. Broil or finish on the stovetop to achieve a golden crust, monitoring internal temperature for desired doneness.
  5. Allow resting for another 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives and serve with horseradish cream sauce.
