Ingredients

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic or red wine vinegar
• 8 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 (5-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add beef. Cover or seal, and chill at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Remove beef from marinade, discarding marinade. Place in a roasting pan; sprinkle evenly with pepper, and let stand 30 minutes.

Bake at 500 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Lower temperature to 375; bake 20 more minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Let tenderloin stand 10 minutes before slicing.
