Refrigerate and marinate overnight, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat.

Line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place the marinated tenderloin in the center.

After the cooking time is complete, turn off the oven but leave the tenderloin inside without opening the door for 1 hour. This allows the residual heat to finish cooking the meat while maintaining its tenderness.
