Is there a more perfect Christmas Dinner than roast filet of beef? Yes. Yes there is. Roast filet of beef with our MAYO!!! Whatever holiday you celebrate, this indulgent dish will make the best centerpiece.

 
Makes 8 servings
 

What you need

1 whole filet of beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied* (4 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons Tessemae’s Lemon Garlic
1 tablespoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Tessemae’s Mayonnaise
2-4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (optional)
 

What you do

1. Heat your oven to 275 degrees. Place the filet on a parchment lined sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the filet all over with Lemon Garlic. Sprinkle very generously with salt and pepper until well coated.
2. Roast the filet of beef until the temperature registers 135 degrees for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Cover the filet with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. 
3. While the beef rests, make the Horseradish Sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, parsley, and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the beef with your favorite sides.

 
How to Trim:
We purchased a whole, untrimmed tenderloin from a club store for this recipe to keep the cost down. If you do that and need tips on trimming, the folks at serious eats have a great how to here.
