Show-Off Beef Tenderloin

• 6 cloves garlic, peeled & slivered
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1 cup port wine (or any other dry red wine)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 5 lbs beef tenderloin

1. Make small slits in the tenderloin and insert the garlic slivers; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, (or a Reynolds turkey oven bag for easy clean-up and marinating) combine all of the remaining ingredients; mix well.
3. Add tenderloin, cover and marinate OVERNIGHT.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
5. Coat a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Remove the meat from the marinade and place on a rack like broiler pan.
7. Folding the ends under roast so tenderloin is of uniform size.
8. Discard the marinade.
9. Roast the tenderloin for 45-55 minutes for medium- rare or to desired doneness.
10. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing crosswise to serve.
11. Serve with red wine sauce or a bearnaise sauce.
12. (I purchase the tenderloin at Sam's Club. The quality is great and is as much as$10 off a pound).
