Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Step 2
Combine ale and whiskey in a bowl. Add brown sugar, cloves, and orange peel.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Coast a roasting pan with olive oil.
Step 4
Remove tenderloin from the marinade and place in a roasting pan. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 45 minutes.
Step 6
Double over the skinny ends of the tenderloin and tie to the rest of the roast with kitchen string so it's roughly the same thickness from one end to the other. Place in a ceramic roasting or baking pan and pour ale marinade over top. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for 18 to 24 hours.
