Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 to 5-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:

  • 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks in heavy syrup
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
  • Garnish: orange slices, optional

Directions

Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper and brown on all sides, for about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to the prepared baking sheet and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the beef from the oven to a cutting board. Cover the meat loosely with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.

Sauce: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks and syrup, the orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, arrowroot, garlic, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth. Heat the same skillet used for the beef over medium-high heat. Add the sauce and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes Season with salt, to taste.

Cutting across the grain, slice the meat into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Garnish with orange slices, if using. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and serve alongside the beef.

    Tasty! Although I used a porkloin (after searing, about 40 mins in the oven and it came out perfect for this recipe because for the life of me I could not find a beef tenderloin! Would definitely make again!

    Fabulous! That's what this is, and it was fun to make! My first time using ginger. The sauce was amazing. I used sirloin tip roast rather than tenderloin. Maybe I don't know my cuts of meat, but the only tenderloin I could find at my grocer was $19.99/lb. Just had to bake for 20 min longer. This is definitely a keeper.

    Wow this sauce was good. Seriously. I did more of a beef stir fry with onions and sweet peppers, but it was heavenly. I used homemade orange marmalade in the sauce instead of pineapple since that's what I already had in the house. So good!
