Ingredients

  • ¼ cup drained prepared horseradish

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped garlic (about 1 garlic clove)

  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 (2-lb.) center-cut beef tenderloin, trimmed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir together horseradish, mustard, parsley, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub mixture on beef tenderloin, pressing to adhere, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of beef registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
