Main Ingredients

2 to 3 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed Look for a well-marbled cut for optimal flavor.
2 tablespoons olive oil Use extra virgin for more flavor.
2 teaspoons salt Kosher salt is ideal.
1 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground for depth.
4 cloves garlic, minced Use fresh for best flavor.
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped Substitute with thyme or sage if preferred.
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped Fresh herbs really shine in this recipe.
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard For a tangy kick—try Maille or Grey Poupon.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup beef broth Homemade or low-sodium for best control over salt.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to make the marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the beef tenderloin and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Cooking

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet around the tenderloin.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Slice the beef and serve with pan juices drizzled over the top.

Quality matters—always choose a good quality cut of beef. This dish is perfect for festive celebrations or an intimate dinner.
