Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef tenderloin from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Brush the Dijon herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the beef tenderloin.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil until the crumbs are lightly coated.
Press the panko mixture firmly onto the herb-coated beef tenderloin, ensuring it adheres evenly.
Place the crusted beef tenderloin back into the skillet, or transfer it to a baking sheet if using a non-oven-safe skillet.
Roast the beef tenderloin in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
