Holiday Beef Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef tenderloin roast
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ⅓ cup Greek seasoning
- ⅓ cup coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425° F. In a small bowl combine Greek seasoning and black pepper. Slightly rub the roast with olive oil. Roll roast in seasoning mixture to cover all surfaces.
- Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer so the tip is centered in the thickest part of the beef. Do not add water or cover.
- Roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until desired internal temperature is reached. Remove from the oven. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the roast to rest for 15-20 minutes. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Make sure the roast is completely covered in the seasoning mixture. I will flip the roast a few times to ensure all surface area is covered.
- I keep this Greek seasoning in my pantry at all times… a true kitchen staple and so good!
- You can use any meat thermometer, but I swear by the ease and accuracy of this instant read digital thermometer!
- This recipe is great as an entree, fabulous as an appetizer, and so good IF there are any leftovers. I love making a tenderloin sandwich with leftovers.
