- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a rack inside a roasting pan.
- Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Season and Sear: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.

- Rest the Meat: Remove from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice into thick pieces and serve warm with your favourite sides or sauces.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Season and refrigerate the beef for up to 24 hours before roasting. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
- Custom Flavours: Add Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, or balsamic glaze before roasting for extra flavour.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a red wine sauce for a complete meal.
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain tenderness.
