Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 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
Preparation and Marinade
- 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.
Cooking
- 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 the beef for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
Resting and Serving
- 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
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Let the roast rest to keep juices inside. Trim fat for even cooking. Sear well to build flavor before roasting. Let the marinade sit for better flavor.
