Ingredients

  • One (4 to 5 pound) beef tenderloin roast, preferably trimmed
  • 4 to 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon or so rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon or so thyme
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1. Mix together the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme, using a little olive oil to make a paste. Rub this mixture all over the tenderloin. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
  2. 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator an hour before roasting and let it come to room temperature.
  3. 3. Place tenderloin in a shallow roasting pan such that it is even in thickness, tucking up the thinner tail if necessary. Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
  4. 4. Roast 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
