Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for added flavor
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and onion powder. Rub this mixture all over the tenderloin.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet around the roast. If using, spread Dijon mustard over the top before placing it in the oven.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil and allow it to rest for 30-45 minutes.
After resting, slice the roast into even pieces. Serve with the pan juices or your choice of sauce.
Notes
Allowing the roast to rest helps retain the juices.
