Ingredients
  

2 pounds beef tenderloin roast

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon onion powder

Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (rosemary, thyme, parsley)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Herb Butter: In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until combined and smooth.

      Season the Beef: Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the roast. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

        Sear the Roast: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until it’s well browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). This helps develop a rich flavor.

          Apply Herb Butter: Remove the skillet from heat and spread the herb butter mixture all over the beef, ensuring it’s covered evenly.

            Roast in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

              Rest the Meat: Once done, take the skillet out of the oven and let the beef rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes for a juicier roast.

                Slice and Serve: Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and serve on a platter. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour | Servings: 6-8

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the slices on a rustic wooden board or a white platter, and sprinkle fresh herbs around the edges for a beautiful touch. You may also serve with roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
