Beef tenderloin roast is an elegant, buttery-soft cut of beef that’s perfect for special occasions. Seasoned simply with herbs and roasted to perfection, this dish delivers restaurant-quality results at home with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin roast (about 3–4 lbs), trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Dijon mustard or prepared horseradish
  • Kitchen twine, for tying

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and tie with kitchen twine every 1–2 inches.
  3. Rub the roast with olive oil and season all over with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Optionally, rub with Dijon mustard or horseradish.
  4. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  5. Roast for 35–45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice and serve with your choice of sauces or side dishes.
