Ingredients

For the Beef Tenderloin:

• 1 ½ lb beef tenderloin, room temperature
  
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Sauce Mixture:

• ½ medium onion, grated
  
• 1 clove garlic, grated
  
• 3 tablespoons red wine
  
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  
• 2 tablespoons honey
  
• 1 bay leaf

Directions

1. Season beef by rubbing salt and pepper on all sides. In a small bowl, combine ingredients for Sauce Mixture; set aside.
2. Preheat the pot with [MED] heat. Once [GRILL OK] sign appears, spread vegetable oil evenly and sear the beef for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown on all sides.
3. Turn off heat, add Sauce Mixture and roll the beef to dress entirely with the sauce. Cover and cook over [WARM 70°C] for 60 minutes.
4. Transfer beef to a carving board and let rest. Thinly slice and drizzle sauce on top before serving.

Notes:

• Searing all sides until golden brown in Step 2 helps lock in the umami and creates a deep, savory flavor.

• If you are not adding the sauce mixture, add 2 tablespoons of water to lower the pot's temperature before switching to [WARM] mode.
