A flavorful and spicy beef tenderloin recipe that is perfect for a special dinner.
Slice the beef tenderloin into five equal portions, cutting about two-thirds through the meat.
Cutting partially through the tenderloin helps the marinade penetrate deeper for more flavor.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, minced garlic, red curry paste, white pepper, honey, sea salt, and vegetable oil.
Ensure the marinade is well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place the beef in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring all sides are coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to fully infuse into the meat.
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
A high temperature ensures a nice sear on the beef.
Place the beef in a baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every 5 minutes.
Basting frequently keeps the beef moist and flavorful.
Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
Serve the beef with your choice of sides and drizzle with the remaining sauce.
Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
