Ingredients
  • 1 (3-pound) center-cut beef tenderloin roast
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Season the tenderloin roast on all sides with the salt, pepper, and dried rosemary.
  3. Place the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the seasoned roast to the skillet and brown on all sides. Transfer the browned roast to a roasting pan.
  4. Spread the minced garlic over the top of the roast, and press 3 sprigs of rosemary over the top. Tuck the remaining 3 sprigs of rosemary underneath the roast.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for well-done.
  6. Discard rosemary sprigs, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving drizzled with juices from the roasting pan.
