Ingredients

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin (about 4 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup beef broth

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil to make a seasoning paste.
  3. Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  4. Rub the seasoning paste all over the beef, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
  5. Place the beef on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.
  6. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan.
  7. Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes per pound for medium-rare doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  9. Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the pan juices as a gravy.
