Description
An elegant and flavorful beef tenderloin roast infused with garlic and fresh herbs, perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3-pound beef tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Trim any silver skin if needed and tie with butcher’s twine every 1–2 inches for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme until combined.
- Rub the beef with olive oil, then season all over with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove skillet from heat and spread the garlic herb butter all over the tenderloin.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, about 25–30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and rest the beef for 10–15 minutes, tented loosely with foil, before slicing.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy and let the beef rest after roasting for optimal juiciness.
