Get ready to indulge in a mouthwatering Bourbon Beef Tenderloin recipe that will leave your taste buds craving more! This exquisite dish combines the rich flavors of bourbon, tangy lemon, fragrant herbs, and succulent beef to create an unforgettable culinary experience. Perfect for special occasions or weekend gatherings, this recipe serves ten and takes just about 105 minutes to prepare.

One of the things that sets this recipe apart is its unique blend of ingredients. The use of frangelico, bourbon, and brown sugar creates a delectable marinade that infuses every bite of the tenderloin with depth and sophistication. Fresh herbs like cilantro and thyme add brightness and aroma, while soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice provide balance and acidity.

To ensure a perfect cook, start by preheating your grill or oven to 350°F. While the grill warms up, prepare the marinade by mixing all the liquid ingredients together in a bowl. Then, submerge the beef tenderloin in the mixture and let it marinate for at least four hours or overnight if possible, making sure to turn the meat over several times to allow maximum flavor absorption.

Once the meat is fully marinated, transfer it to the grill and baste with the reserved liquid frequently to maintain moisture and enhance the smoky flavor. Grill for approximately 25 minutes until cooked to desired doneness – we recommend medium-rare for optimal tenderness. Finally, serve the Bourbon Beef Tenderloin alongside your favorite sides and garnishes, such as horseradish cream, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
