Ingredients
– 2 to 3 pounds beef tenderloin
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

– 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
– ½ cup sour cream
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Follow these clear steps to create the amazing Oven Roast Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish-Mustard Sauce:
1. Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
2. Prepare the beef: Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Season the tenderloin: Rub the beef with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then sprinkle the chopped rosemary evenly over the surface.
4. Sear the beef: In a hot skillet, sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. This step locks in the flavor.
5. Transfer to baking pan: Place the seared tenderloin on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
6. Roast in the oven: Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare doneness.
7. Prepare the sauce: While the beef is roasting, mix together the Dijon mustard, horseradish, sour cream, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Rest the meat: Once the beef reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
9. Slice and serve: After resting, slice the beef into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter.
10. Drizzle with sauce: Serve the beef slices with a generous spoonful of horseradish-mustard sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
