Beef Tenderloin Roast Ingredients
- 5 pounds Beef Tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Coarsely Ground Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a beautiful sear on your beef tenderloin roast.
- Prepare the Beef: Rub the beef tenderloin all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then evenly coat it with minced garlic, sea salt, and coarsely ground pepper to infuse flavor and help the seasonings adhere.
- Position the Roast: Place the seasoned beef tenderloin in the center of a roasting pan, ensuring even cooking.
- Roast the Beef: Roast the tenderloin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare doneness.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a succulent and tender slice.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge doneness and avoid overcooking.
- Allowing the beef to rest after roasting is crucial for juicy, tender slices.
- For different doneness levels, adjust roasting time accordingly: 125°F for rare, 145°F for medium.
- Let the beef sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting for more even cooking.
- If you prefer, you can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to enhance flavor complexity.
