Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon additional olive oil for potatoes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder for potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt for potatoes

How to Make Herb-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a herb paste.
3. Rub the herb paste evenly over the beef tenderloin, ensuring it’s well coated.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
5. While the beef is searing, prepare the baby potatoes. In a separate bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
6. Once the beef is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Add the seasoned baby potatoes to the same skillet, placing them around the beef.
7. Return the beef to the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
8. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin alongside the roasted potatoes.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to let the beef tenderloin rest after cooking to ensure it retains its juices.
• Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking; this helps achieve your desired level of doneness.
• If you prefer your beef well-done, continue cooking until it reaches 150°F (65°C).

Easy Variations

• Substitute the fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh aren’t available; just reduce the quantity by half.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb paste.
• Swap the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or carrots for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh arugula salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
• Steamed green beans with a sprinkle of sea salt.
• A rich red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the beef.
