Description
A perfectly roasted beef tenderloin that embodies elegance and flavor, perfect for special occasions.
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, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to create a marinade.
- Rub the marinade all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring it is well coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. 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 the beef for about 25-30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the beef and serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, and let it rest after cooking to preserve juiciness.
