When looking for a classic and fail-proof recipe for dinner, I always turn to our trusted Ina. She has the best taste in food<\/a>\u00a0and she's not trying to make anything more complicated than it needs to be. So when I had a craving for steak, I knew I had to try this Ina Garten beef tenderloin recipe.<\/p>\r\n The verdict? This filet of beef is as perfectly tender and delicious as she promises it will be. How easy is that!<\/p>\r\n\r\n Preheat the oven to 500\u00b0F. Place the beef on a baking sheet and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the butter on with your hands. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Roast in the oven for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare<\/a>. Ina isn't messing around!<\/p>\r\n\r\n Remove the beef from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the strings of butcher's twine<\/a> and slice the filet thickly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n This Ina Garten beef tenderloin recipe truly couldn't be any easier. It's a great way to let this tender cut of meat shine. It's the perfect blend of comfort food and delicacy, which can be dressed up or down, depending on what sides you serve. While the steak is cooking and resting, you can make your sides, like mashed potatoes<\/a>, roasted vegetables or a green salad<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n It's a lot of meat, so if you don't have a big crowd, you can always halve the recipe. And if you do end up with leftovers, definitely try one of these steak salads<\/a> for lunch the next day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n If you're making this beef tenderloin, the most important thing is to not skimp on the seasoning! It might seem like a lot of salt, but it's the only seasoning, and it's just the right amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Line your sheet pan with aluminum foil<\/a> to make for easier cleanup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Don't skip the rest period! While the steak is sitting, the juices get re-absorbed into the meat, making it tender and delicious. Give it that full rest time so the flavorful juices don't leak out everywhere when you cut into the roast.<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t I put this Ina Garten beef tenderloin to the test\u2014and it passed with flying colors!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7801,"featured_media":1849825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[307308,307315,303887,306848,307307,303719,303720,303883],"categories-v2":[310347,310354,308478,309603,310342,308324,308345,308476],"coauthors":[340582],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":"","long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"\nIna Garten's Beef Tenderloin Recipe<\/h2>\r\n
