Description
A stunning centerpiece roast beef tenderloin that is tender, juicy, and packed with aromatic herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to create the marinade.
- Rub the marinade all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring even coverage. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet around the tenderloin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 135°F for medium-rare.
- Remove from the oven, transfer the beef to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice and serve, drizzling the pan juices on top.
Notes
Resting the meat is crucial for juicy slices. A meat thermometer is helpful to ensure perfect doneness.
