To be honest, with a nice piece of meat like tenderloin, I would not marinate it. Prior to cooking it i would simply sprinkle it with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
If you want something more, maybe make a sauce to serve with it. I have made a really nice gorgonzola sauce to serve with it. Let me find the recipe.

okay so leave as is, with the exception of a little salt and pepper to spice it up a tinch.
i make this blue cheese and ranch dipping sauce that is to die for, with tenderloin its a thicker dip so a dab will do ya per little bite, but it's excellent!
thanks for the help!

My brother is a chef and he made us one a while back that was good.
Cut small slits a couple of inches deep every few inches and shove fresh garlic inside. Rub it with kosher salt, black pepper and rosemary. Place it in a hot pan to quickly brown the outside and then place it in the oven at no more than 350 until the center is warm but still red.

thanks so much ya, i usually cook at 350 degrees, but that recipe from food.com says 500 lol crazy. ya, thats called "searing" the meat (browning it in a pan to lock in the natural juices). good tips, thanks!

i wouldn't use a sauce...I'd do the salt and pepper thing and add some garlic powder, some crushed red pepper, and anything else I could find in my cabinet minus any spices used for desserts (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc)...Then I'd make a gravy from the drippings if I needed sauce.
I NEVER go wrong if I just throw any dry spice I can find on the meat...In fact, I'm gonna do that with some fresh fish today from the market.

when it comes to beef tenderloin i am a purist. like justb said, some salt and pepper are perfect. maybe a little bit of olive oil to help browning and some garlic. but you really don't need much. for serving i usually just give everyone a little bit of garlic butter to melt on top.
if you bought a whole PISMO (Packaged indivudually side meat on), i like to trim all the fat, cut off the chain meat, and top roast, and make filet mignon out of the the actual tenderloin while reserving the chain meat for cheese steaks, and the top roast for stuffing with herb and blue cheese and braising.
all in all though, i like to let the flavor and texture of beef tenderloin have the spotlight. in my opinion there is no finer cut of meat. perhaps served with a baked potato and some asparagus, wrapped in prosciutto and grilled, topped with just a little bit of hollandaise.
Take 1 bunch of basil, 1/2 bunch of thyme, 1/2 bunch of rosemary, 1/2 bunch tarragon and remove the leaves and set aside. Roast two shallots or 1 small onion and 6 cloves of garlic. Watch the garlic does not burn. Allow them to cool a little bit.
In a blender add one cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of tamari (or soy) sauce. Add the garlic, shallots and herbs and blend to a paste. Rub the paste on the tenderloin an hour or two before cooking. When you cook the tenderloin sear it in a skillet first until browned. And, of course, season it with salt and pepper right before you sear it.
You can also use this rub on chickens before your roast them, steaks before you grill them and adding a teaspoon or two to a pasta dish gives it a kick of flavor too.

I also cook many meats at 500 instead of the standard 350 or 400 people often use.
Less chance for the proteins to bind up making it tough, and less chance of a dry piece of meat when cooked at 500.
Just make sure you have a good thermometer, I personally love my digital leave in monitor. Just take the meat out 10-15 degrees before it reaches your desired level of rare/med rare/well done and cover loosely with foil for 10 minutes or so.
Q: What is the difference between kosher salt, sea salt, and table salt?
A: For the cook's purposes, the main difference between salts is in their texture. Table salt's fine granules dissolve quickly, making it the preferred salt of bakers. Sea salt and kosher salt possess larger, irregular grains that add a delightful crunch and hit of briny flavor when sprinkled on food at the last minute. Generally, savvy cooks prefer kosher salt when cooking, since its coarse texture is easier to take a pinch of when seasoning savory dishes.
Chemically there is little difference between kitchen salts. All are at least 97 1/2 percent sodium chloride. But there are significant differences in the provenance and processing of these salts.
Table salt is mined from underground salt deposits, and includes a small portion of calcium silicate, an anti-caking agent added to prevent clumping. It possesses very fine crystals and a sharp taste. Because of its fine grain a single teaspoon of table salt contains more salt than a tablespoon of kosher or sea salt.
Sea salt is harvested from evaporated seawater and receives little or no processing, leaving in tact the minerals from the water it came from. These minerals flavor and color the salt slightly. However, because these salts often come at a dear price, it is worth keeping in mind that they lose their unique flavor when cooked or dissolved.
Kosher salt takes its name from its use in the koshering process. It contains no preservatives and can be derived from either seawater or underground sources. Aside from being a great salt to keep within arm's reach when you are cooking, it is particularly useful in preserving, because its large crystals draw moisture out of meats and other foods more effectively than other salts.
nothing like a $2 bottle of salad dressing to ruin a $100 piece of meat lol
i generally avoid anything pre made when it comes to sauces, marinades etc. nothing that comes out of a bottle will ever hold a candle to anything you can create yourself.
i also like to make my own things because you can subtly vary the flavors to match everything else in your meal.

my husband did a coffee marinade last weekend that I thought I would not like. I mean you see coffee all over the place now on menus. But, I really liked it and it wound up intensifying the beef flavor which I found interesting.

Cook it for 15-20 minutes at 500f when lower it to 325 and cook it slow for a little longer then at 350.
will sear in the juice and make the meat much tastier

coffee you say? that is interesting, never tried that. did he just brew it regularly then let it it marinate?

Yeah on Sat morning he made a full pot and took what we didn't drink and made the marinade with it. He put other seasonings like garlic in as well. This was for strip steaks. I'll definitely be copying it.
