This lean roast beef tenderloin is a wonderful centerpiece for your Christmas or holiday table. Serve with red wine gravy on the side.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 2-2 1/2-pound trimmed beef tenderloin
  • Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Combine oil, herbs and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloin with the herb mixture and sprinkle with black pepper. Place the beef on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

Roast tenderloin until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, about 30-40 minutes depending on degree of desired doneness. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serves 12
