Description

A luxurious and foolproof main course, this garlic butter beef tenderloin is melt-in-your-mouth tender with a deeply savory, buttery crust that’s perfect for holidays or special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 2.5 to 3 lb whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Kitchen twine (for tying)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat beef dry and tie with kitchen twine for even cooking.

  • In a bowl, mix butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  • Remove from heat and spread the garlic herb butter all over the beef.

  • Transfer to a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until internal temp reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

  • Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Bring beef to room temperature before cooking for even roasting.
  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Leftovers make great sandwiches or salads.
