Bistro Beef Tenderloin*
April 23, 2016
Prep Time : 25 minutes
Cook Time : aprox 45 minutes depending on how you like it cooked.
Yield : About 12 servings
Ingredients:
1 3-pound beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, chervil, tarragon, thyme
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Tie kitchen string around tenderloin in three places so it doesn’t flatten while roasting. (I didn't bother with this as I didn't see it being necessary).
Rub the tenderloin with oil; pat on salt and pepper.
Place in a large roasting pan.
Roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 45 minutes, turning two or three times during roasting to ensure even cooking.
Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the string.
Place herbs on a large plate.
Coat the tenderloin evenly with mustard; then roll in the herbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Slice and serve.

My notes:
