My favorite whole beef tenderloin recipe: made in the oven, deliciously medium/medium rare, and makes the perfect beef tenderloin every time. This meaty main course is a must have at the holidays for my family, and it’s a great go-to recipe for feeding a fancy crowd, too. Fun fact: there’s a fancy steakhouse in downtown…
