Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl.


Coat beef filet with marinade evenly on all sides.

Marinate for 30 minutes.


Place meat on a rack and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until pink juices just begin to rise to the surface, or a meat thermometer reads 125 F to 130 F (52 to 54 C.) Remove to a platter and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
