Ingredients
Here is the list of ingredients you’ll need to create the Amazing Beef Tenderloin Roast:
– 1 (4-5 pound) beef tenderloin roast, trimmed
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon kosher salt
– 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
– 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– Kitchen twine (for tying the roast, optional)
Instructions
Creating your Amazing Beef Tenderloin Roast is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat will help create a beautiful crust on the roast.
2. Prepare the Tenderloin: Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. This step is vital for a good sear.
3. Season the Roast: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Rub this mixture all over the beef tenderloin to ensure even coverage.
4. Tie the Roast: If you prefer, tie the tenderloin with kitchen twine at regular intervals to ensure even cooking. This helps maintain its shape during roasting.
5. Sear the Tenderloin: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
6. Roast the Beef: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the tenderloin until it reaches your desired internal temperature: 120°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well (about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare).
7. Rest the Roast: Remove from the oven and tent with aluminum foil. Allow the beef to rest for 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial for locking in the juices.
