Ingredients
- Beef tenderloin
- 2 pounds, trimmed
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended to create a flavorful paste.
- Generously rub the mustard mixture all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring every surface is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the beef tenderloin in the hot skillet and sear on all sides until a deep golden brown crust forms, about 2 minutes per side.
- Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the beef tenderloin to rest for 10 minutes. This resting period helps retain its juices for a more tender slice.
- Slice the beef tenderloin into thick slices and serve immediately, drizzled with any pan juices for added flavor.
Tips
- For a deeper flavor, let the mustard mixture marinate on the beef for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator before searing.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of honey to the mustard mixture.
