Roasted Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 2 lb beef tenderloin (trimmed and tied)
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 Tbsp prepared Horseradish (strained)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
• 1/2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Remove tenderloin from refrigerator 1 hour before roasting. Trim and tie beef tenderloin. Preheat Oven to 500˚F with a rack in center.

2. 2

   Coarsely chop 2 garlic cloves then strip 1/2 Tbsp of fresh thyme leaves and 1 Tbsp of fresh rosemary. Finely mince together the garlic and herbs. Transfer them to a small mixing bowl. Add 2 Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp horseradish, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Use a fork and mash to combine.

3. 3

   Pat tenderloin dry with paper towel and spread the garlic herb rub evenly all over the tenderloin and transfer to a roasting pan or oven safe skillet. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest portion of your tenderloin and roast in a preheated oven at 500˚F for 28-30 min for medium doneness (*Remove it at 130-135˚F for a final resting temperature of 138-140˚F).

4. 4

   Remove from oven and transfer to cutting board, tent loosely with foil and rest 10 minutes. Slice into 1/2” thick slices, and serve right away.
