2-3 pounds beef tenderloin This cut is prized for its tenderness. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, substitute with sirloin or flank steak.
3 tablespoons olive oil Can be substituted with avocado oil or melted butter.
4 cloves garlic, minced Increase to 6 cloves for a richer flavor.
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped Mix and match with oregano or parsley if desired.
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped Can be replaced with dried herbs (1 teaspoon dried equals 1 tablespoon fresh).
1 tablespoon salt Essential for enhancing the beef's natural flavors.
1 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and remove any silver skin if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the beef until evenly coated.
Place the beef in a roasting pan on a rack.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare (aiming for an internal temperature of 135°F/57°C).
Let it rest for at least 10 minutes after removing it from the oven.
Slice against the grain into thick slices and serve.

For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
