Beef Tenderloin

What else would you have for Christmas dinner? Mom ordered a beef tenderloin from West Concord Supermarket, which has great beef. We marinated it all day then served with a blue cheese sauce. Recipes below, starting with the marinade.

Marinade:
1 cup red wine
1 cup teriyaki sauce (we used gluten free)
2 pressed cloves of garlic

Rotate the beef a few times through the course of the day. Then cook as follows:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Once heated, cook meat in large roasting pan for 15 minutes at 450. Reduce heat to 375 and cook for another 30-40 minutes. Allow to sit for around 10 minutes before serving. Look at this perfectly cooked cut of beef:



For sauce, melt the following together in saucepan over medium heat:
4 ounces blue cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup sour cream
1/5 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

Here is a picture of the sauce. I doubled this recipe and made a little too much!



Serve! Guaranteed crowd pleaser. Here is a picture of the beef, sliced and on the table.
