Christmas Stuffed Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients:

• Stuffing:
• 2 cups breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted & cooled
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 ½ cups finely chopped fresh parsley
• Beef Tenderloin:
• 1 center-cut beef tenderloin roast (4–6 lb)
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, melted butter, and parsley.
3. Slice the tenderloin lengthwise, unrolling as you cut to create a flat surface.
4. Spread the stuffing over the meat, roll it back up tightly, and secure with butcher’s twine. Season the outside with salt and pepper.
5. Place the roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan. Bake 50–70 minutes, until internal temperature reaches:
6. 145°F for medium-rare
7. 160°F for medium
   (Remove 10°F before target — it will rise while resting.)
8. Rest 10 minutes before slicing into pinwheels. Serve warm.
