Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 24 inches long) Whole wheat baguette
- 1 pound Beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 leaves, large Romaine lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 thinly sliced Cucumber
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the beef tenderloin.
Place the beef on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium rare is reached.
While the beef is roasting, prepare the dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Once the beef is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly.
Cut the whole wheat baguette into four equal parts and slice each part open horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Spread the yogurt dressing evenly inside each baguette piece.
Layer each sandwich with romaine lettuce, a few slices of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
Top with slices of the herb-roasted beef.
Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
