Print Recipe

A tender and flavorful beef tenderloin roast coated with a garlic-herb rub and served with a rich, creamy Bearnaise sauce, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For Bearnaise Sauce:
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the herb rub.
  3. Rub the herb mixture all over the beef tenderloin.
  4. Place the tenderloin on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare, or until an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) is reached.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  7. To make Bearnaise sauce, whisk egg yolks, white wine vinegar, and water in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until thickened.
  8. Slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking continuously until sauce is creamy and thick.
  9. Stir in chopped tarragon and season with salt and pepper.
  10. Serve sliced beef tenderloin drizzled with warm Bearnaise sauce.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness. Be careful when reheating Bearnaise sauce as it can split; whisk quickly to restore texture if needed. This dish pairs well with roasted potatoes and green vegetables.
