Roast Beef Tenderloin - The perfect recipe for making a juicy, tender, melt in your mouth beef tenderloin at home! This beef is seared with garlic butter and cooked in the oven to perfection!
Lay a piece of kitchen twine on a cutting board then place the roast on top and tie a double knot around the top then make a loop out of the twine and slip it around the top and tighten it.
Repeat the tying process with the entire roast, leaving about an inch between each tie.
Flip the roast over and adjust the string so that it’s evenly spaced then slip the string under the ties and continue looping until you get to the top.
Flip the roast over again and double knot the back end with the front end securely. *SIT THE ROAST ASIDE AT THIS POINT FOR 2 HOURS TO COME TO ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix the butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl until fully incorporated then set aside.
Heat an oven safe skillet over medium heat and spread half of the butter onto the front side of the roast and the other half on the back side of the roast.
Once the pan is hot, place the roast in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the roast starts to develop a nice color then flip it over and sear on the other side as well.
Place the roast in the oven directly for 10 minutes then turn the heat down to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving with roasted potatoes if desired.
Notes
NOTE PLAN AHEAD: The beef tenderloin must be removed from the refrigerator to sit at room temperature for 2 hours after tying and before searing. At the end of cooking you must let the roast sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
