Balsamic Beef Tenderloin: A Farm-to-Table Showstopper

Some dishes speak louder than words—and this one practically sings.

Our Balsamic Beef Tenderloin is savory, rich, and wildly satisfying. It's made with Mushroom & Sage Olive Oil and Fig Balsamic Vinegar—two of our most popular gourmet flavors—and makes the kind of centerpiece that draws people to the table before you even say, “Dinner’s ready.”

Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just treating yourself to a cozy night in, this roast brings warmth, depth, and flavor to the table.

🌿 The Farm-to-Table Flavor Profile

This tenderloin gets its depth from two key ingredients:

• Mushroom & Sage Olive Oil: Earthy and aromatic, this oil brings a wild, woodsy richness that enhances meats and roasted vegetables alike.

• Fig Balsamic Vinegar: Naturally sweet and deeply complex, this vinegar balances the savory flavors and gives the roast its signature glaze and caramelization.

Together, they create a flavor profile that’s bold, balanced, and totally unforgettable.

🍽️ The Recipe: Balsamic Beef Tenderloin

Serves: 4–6

Ingredients:

• 1½ pounds beef tenderloin roast, trimmed and tied

• 2 tbsp Mushroom & Sage Olive Oil

• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 3 tbsp Fig Balsamic Vinegar

• Coarse sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Trim tenderloin of silverskin and excess fat. Tie in 1½–2 inch intervals to keep shape.

2. Brush roast with Mushroom & Sage Olive Oil and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. This helps the heat circulate evenly for a beautiful crust.

3. In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and Fig Balsamic Vinegar with a pinch of salt. Brush the mixture all over the roast. Sprinkle generously with cracked pepper.

4. Roast for 25–28 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F for medium-rare.

5. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Serve with your favorite sides—roasted potatoes, green beans, or even a tangy vinaigrette-dressed salad.
