Roast Beef Tenderloin with Wasabi-Garlic Cream

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon prepared wasabi (or more to taste)

3 pound beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sugar

DIRECTIONS

For the Wasabi-Garlic Cream:
Combine cream and garlic in saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. Whisk in wasabi and cook for 1 minute, remove from heat. Season to taste with salt. Chill well

For the Beef Tenderloin:
Coat the beef with olive oil. Mix salt, pepper and sugar together. Rub this mixture over top and sides (not bottom) of beef. Place on rimmed baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Be sure bottom is not rubbed.

Roast until thermometer inserted into center registers 120 degrees for rare or 10 degrees for medium rare, about 35 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven; let rest 15 - 20 minutes. Cut beef into thick slices; platter serve with chilled sauce on the side. I like to serve my beef at room temperature for buffet service.
