Instructions
- 1. Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat it dry with paper towels.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or set a rack inside a roasting pan.
- 3. Mix the Christmas Roast Infused Olive Oil Blend, Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- 4. Rub the mixture evenly over the beef tenderloin, coating the surface from end to end.
- 5. Combine the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, and softened butter in another bowl until the crumbs are lightly moistened.
- 6. Press the breadcrumb mixture over the seasoned beef so it forms a thin herb crust.
- 7. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 8. Transfer the tenderloin to the prepared pan and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches 125 F for medium-rare or 135 F for medium.
- 9. Rest the beef on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
- 10. Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, chill the roasted tenderloin for 5 minutes after resting if you want more control while carving. If the crust starts browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil during the last part of the roast. This recipe pairs nicely with pan juices, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.
