Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix everything well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the beef tenderloin on a clean cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 4
Rub the marinade all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated. Let the beef rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Step 5
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
Step 7
Remove the tenderloin from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Drizzle the lime juice over the beef and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Step 9
Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and serve with your favorite sides.
