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:  

I love it rare so I cooked it for about 30 minutes.  Additionally I served this with lightly, steamed baby carrots and parsley.
