Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin About 2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped Use fresh if available
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped Use fresh if available
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup beef broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef tenderloin.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  5. Brush the tenderloin all over with Dijon mustard.
  6. Pour the beef broth into the skillet around the meat.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes for medium-rare.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  3. Once out of the oven, let the beef tenderloin rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for better flavor. Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. If there are leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for later use. When reheating, add a splash of beef broth to keep it moist.
