Recipe Introduction

"Wow friends and family with this tender beef in a golden horseradish crust. It's perfect for weekend dinners with guests. Roasted garlic boosts the robust flavor even more."

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 whole garlic bulb
◦ 1 teaspoon olive oil
◦ ⅓ cup prepared horseradish
◦ � teaspoon salt
◦ � teaspoon dried basil
◦ � teaspoon dried thyme
◦ � teaspoon pepper
◦ ⅓ cup soft bread crumbs
◦ 1 beef tenderloin roast (3 pounds)


Recipe

Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off garlic bulb; brush with oil. Wrap in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425� F until softened, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes.

Squeeze softened garlic into a small bowl; stir in horseradish, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper. Add bread crumbs; toss to coat. Spread over top of tenderloin. Place on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan.

Bake at 400� until the meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135�; medium, 140�; medium-well, 145�), 45 to 55 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
