  • Mix the minced garlic, soy sauce, & olive oil and pour over the meat.
  • Let the tenderloin marinate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 425 degrees & bake 10-15 minutes, covered with tin foil.
  • Then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees & bake for 15-20 minutes per pound.
  • Once complete, let rest for 30 minutes before serving.

This has been a family Christmas tradition from the first time we tried it years ago.  Highly recommended!
