Oven Roasted Beef Tenderloin
This easy oven roasted beef tenderloin recipe yields succulent and delicious slices of beef tenderloin every time!
Ingredients
- 3.5 pound beef tenderloin filet
- 3 tbsp olive oil organic is preferred
- 3 tsp kosher salt
- 1/5 tsp ground black pepper
- 10-15 sprigs of rosemary, terragon or thyme (I used terragon, but any work)
- Kitchen string
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Place the beef filet on a greesed baking sheet. Brush the filet with the 3 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle with all of the salt and pepper.
- Place the terragon, rosemary or thyme sprigs (your choice) all over the beef, and using kitchen string, tie them down to keep them in place.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this time, check the temperature of the meat using a meat thermometer and continue to cook in 10 minute intervals until desired internal temperature is achieved. I cooked mine for 1.5 hours to reach an internal temperature of 138 degrees F.
- When desired temperature is achieved, remove from the oven and cover loosly with aluminum foil. Let the meat sit for 20 minutes (this is important to reduce the amount of 'bleeding' that occurs when cutting the meat). Slice the meat, and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- Left overs can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 24 hours. I would not go past 24 hours due to the rareness of the meat.
