Ingredients:  
One 3 pound beef tenderloin
3/4 cup Light (low sodium) Soy Sauce
1/2 cup melted butter
2 large cloves minced garlic
optional Mushrooms
1-2 cups beef broth, if you want gravy
Directions:
Directions:
Place roast in a large zip lock and add soy, garlic and melted butter. Let marinade in refrigerator 2-3 hours. Marinating time is optional if you are in a hurry just put it all together and let it sit out about to almost room temperature, turning the bag often.

Preheat oven to 350

Set roast on counter about 1 hour to get to room temperature. Place meat in a roasting pan heavy enough to put on top of the stove when finished to make gravy if you want it. Pour marinade over meat and bake 10 minutes. Turn roast and continue cooking another 35-40 minutes, basting occasionally. Check it at about 30 minutes if you like it on the rare side. Internal temperature 140 for medium 115-120 for medium rare. Instant read or a meat thermometer are essentials for your kitchen. If you want mushrooms put them in the pan about 15-20 minutes before beef is finished baking. If you are going to make gravy, remove from oven, place meat on a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, not tucking it around roast. and set aside, it needs to rest 15- 20 minutes before carving.

Pour beef broth in the roasting pan with the juices and bring to a simmer on the stove top. Thicken with about 2 tsp corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water. This can be adjusted with more broth and cornstarch mixture as you go. I like a thinner au jus gravy for beef.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I some times add a big splash of red Wine to the soy mix. A 6 pound roast takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes to reach 120. The meat is expensive so a meat thermometer is a small price to pay for perfect roast beef.
