Mustard Bourbon Marinated Beef Tenderloin With Garlic image

I was having a party of 22 and I served this tenderloin. I come back to this recipe over and over again because it is so easy to make up and I can marinate the beef up to 3 days in advance. This is one of my favorites recipes to do on the grill for a large group....I hope it will become one of yours!!!!

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs beef tenderloin, all visible fat removed
garlic, slivered
1/3 cup Dijon mustard (see note below)
3 tablespoons Bourbon (or Scotch in a pinch)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Note: The recipe calls for Grey Poupon peppercorn mustard. As this mustard is not available where I live -- I give the marinade a few good grinds of my peppercorn mill. (anywhere from 1 tsp to 1T).
  • Wipe the tenderloin clean with a paper towel. Cut slits into the beef and add the garlic slivers. The amount of garlic used is up to personal preference.
  • Combine mustard, bourbon, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, olive oil and garlic in a zip lock bag. Add beef and turn to coat both sides. Chill for several hours or overnight. Note: I have marinated the beef up to 3 days.
  • Preheat grill.
  • Remove marinade from zip log bag. Reserve marinade. Coat grill with vegetable oil or Pam. Sear beef for 2 minutes on each side. Cover grill and cook 45 - 60 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 150, brushing with reserved marinade occasionally.
  • Alow beef to sit for 5 - 10 minutes before carving.
  • The reserved marinate can be made into a sauce by combining it with 1 cup sliced mushrooms in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat and cook until heated through.
