Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 whole beef tenderloin (about 4 pounds), trimmed and tied
Herb and Seasoning Rub
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting.
- Prepare the Beef Tenderloin: Place the trimmed and tied beef tenderloin on a baking sheet, ready for seasoning.
- Make the Herb Rub: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed.
- Coat the Tenderloin: Rub the herb mixture evenly all over the surface of the beef tenderloin, ensuring every side is well covered with the flavorful blend.
- Roast the Beef: Place the coated beef tenderloin in the preheated oven and roast for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare doneness.
- Rest the Roast: Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Resting ensures the juices redistribute, resulting in a juicy and tender roast beef.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to gauge doneness accurately—135°F is recommended for medium-rare.
- Letting the roast rest is crucial to maintain moisture and tenderness.
- You can adjust herbs and seasoning to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a different doneness, adjust the roasting time accordingly.
- Tying the tenderloin helps it cook evenly and maintain its shape.
