Description
A show-stopping Garlic Rosemary Beef Tenderloin that’s simple yet elegant, featuring a fragrant garlic and rosemary crust, roasted to perfection—ideal for holidays or special occasions.
Ingredients
3 to 4 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. If using, brush Dijon mustard over the beef before applying the mixture.
- Rub the mixture evenly over the entire beef tenderloin.
- Place the tenderloin on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove from oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Dijon mustard adds a tangy depth of flavor.
Resting the meat is crucial to keep it juicy.
Grilling can be a great alternative to roasting.
Use thyme or sage as an alternative to rosemary.
Serve with red wine reduction or horseradish sauce for added flair.
