Beef Tenderloin with Smoked Paprika Mayonnaise

This elegant roast beef tenderloin with smoked paprika mayonnaise is a sophisticated high-protein dish that delivers a wonderful depth of flavour. The lean, tender cut of beef is rubbed with an aromatic blend of garlic, cumin, and piquant paprika, which develops a beautiful crust during its quick roast in a hot oven. It is a fantastic centrepiece for a Sunday lunch or a celebratory dinner party, offering a refined alternative to a traditional roast.

The dish is perfectly complemented by a homemade spiced mayonnaise, enriched with the savoury juices from the resting meat. Because the beef is equally delicious served warm or at room temperature, it is an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Pair it with roasted root vegetables or a crisp green salad for a balanced, protein-rich meal that feels truly indulgent.

How to make Beef Tenderloin with Smoked Paprika Mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 260°C with rack in middle.
