Ingredients
Beef Tenderloin
- 3 lb beef tenderloin
Herb Butter Mixture
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 tbsp rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the tenderloin.
- Prepare Herb Butter: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat Tenderloin: Rub the prepared herb butter mixture evenly all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Roast: Place the tenderloin in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare doneness.
- Rest: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute providing a juicy and tender result.
- Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the tenderloin into servings and enjoy your luxurious roast beef centerpiece.
Notes
- Tie the tenderloin with kitchen twine before roasting to ensure even cooking and maintain its shape.
- Use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature for perfect doneness.
- Allowing the meat to rest before slicing enhances juiciness and tenderness.
