Ingredients
•
1 (3 pound) whole beef tenderloin
•
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
•
1/2 cup red wine
•
2 cloves garlic, chopped
•
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
•
2/3 cup sour cream
•
1/3 cup mayonnaise
•
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions
1
Place beef tenderloin in a shallow dish. Combine teriyaki sauce, wine, and garlic in a small bowl; pour over tenderloin. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
3
Remove tenderloin from marinade and place on a broiler pan. Discard marinade.
4
Cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue cooking to desired doneness, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of tenderloin should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium doneness. Let tenderloin rest while you make sauce.
5
Make sauce: Combine blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over low heat; stir until smooth.
6
Serve sauce over sliced tenderloin.
