- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix rosemary, thyme, garlic, and olive oil to create an herb paste.
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry, then rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire roast. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the tenderloin in a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
