Cranberry Pesto Tenderloin Roast serves fresh cranberries, orange and basil pesto over tender roast beef. Naturally sweet orange means no added sugar.
How many times have you thought about making a beef roast for the Holidays but changed your mind? I was guilty of that too.
Did you feel intimidated? If you answered yes, you’re in good company.
Recent research done by Certified Angus Beef ® brand found that Nearly 1 out of 4 consumers had NEVER cooked a beef roast! So why aren’t they roasting delicious Prime Rib or Tenderloin Roasts?
Almost 20 percent say they don’t know how, and more than 30 percent say they don’t have time. Nearly two-thirds of people say they don’t know which cuts of beef are best for roasting.
Certified Angus Beef ® brand listened.
Their Roast Perfect app makes selecting, buying, cooking and serving beef roasts, so much easier. Roast Perfect gives suggestions on cut and size, calculates exact cooking times, provides tested recipes, educates consumers on how to work with their butcher, and identifies the locations where users can buy Certified Angus Beef ® brand.
There is even a section devoted to Chef tested recipes including delicious sides. How cool is that?
The app connects directly to recipes on CertifiedAngusBeef.com .

BONUS…
This pesto doubles as a relish! That’s right. It tastes just as good cold as it does hot. Win, win!
I have a small food processor. If you have a smaller version too, process in two batches.
Salt and pepper your roast on all sides. Spoon on 1/2 cup of the pesto. Place your roast in a preheated 450 oven and start the Roast Perfect timer.
Always test your roast with a good internal thermometer for accurate doneness.
