Ingredients:

  • 1 cup good bourbon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
  • 1 beef tenderloin, about 5 pounds, trimmed

Preparation:

Combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, cilantro, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, water, and thyme. Fold the tail end of the beef back underneath itself so that it is an even thickness. Secure with cooking twine and place in a nonreactive dish or pan. Pour marinade over tenderloin, cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 10 hours. Turn meat from time to time to keep it coated with marinade. Preheat oven to 400°. Roast, uncovered, basting occasionally, for 45 to 50 minutes for medium-rare to medium. Meat thermometer should read 140° for medium rare, 155° for medium.
Serves 8 to 10.

Best Terderloin Marinade EVER!!!May 12, 2008By Lotsaletters
"This is the BEST marinade for beef terderloin ever! Marinade the beef overnight turning every 5-6 hours and your tederloin will be so tender you can cut it with a fork. Our children left their video games when they smelled the aroma of the vaporized bourbon fumes. You don't even need to buy a expensive cut of tenderloin. I buy a select cut, trim it, marinade it and it turns out like a prime cut of beef. Just buy a regular grade of bourbon, not even Jack and you will be more tha satisfied!!!"
