INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 cup Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon each dried oregano, summer savory, tarragon and thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 beef tenderloin (about 1-1/2 pounds)

DIRECTIONS

In a bowl, combine the oil, broth, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and seasonings. Pour 3/4 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight, turning bag once or twice. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
    Drain and discard marinade from beef. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°;well-done, 170°). Turn once and baste with 1/4 cup reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes. Let tenderloin stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining reserved marinade. Yield: 6 servings.
