Herb Butter Beef Tenderloin Roast
Ingredients:
- 3 lb beef tenderloin roast
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the beef tenderloin dry and season it generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, chopped rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Rub the herb butter mixture all over the beef tenderloin.
4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time as needed for your desired doneness.
6. Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
