This beef tenderloin is a stunning main dish and is so easy to make. The result is flavorful, tender, perfectly cooked beef.
Ingredients
  • 1 beef tenderloin, about 4 lbs.
  • 3 tbsp. kosher salt
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • Kitchen twine
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. Tuck the narrow end of the tenderloin in on itself and use kitchen twine to tightly tie the beef tenderloin every 2 inches.
  3. Rub the beef tenderloin down with the salt on all sides and place on the prepared pan.
  4. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, onion powder, garlic, and fresh herbs. Pour the mixture over the beef tenderloin and rub it on all sides.
  5. Place the tenderloin in the oven for 50 minutes for rare or 1 hour and 10 minutes for medium rare.
  6. After the amount of time has passed, remove the tenderloin from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Then check the temperature of the beef. You're looking for 120-125 for rare, 130-135 for medium rare, and 140-145 for medium well.
  7. Cut the strings, slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.
  8. Enjoy!
