Ingredients
1 whole beef tenderloin (2 to 2.5 lbs), trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp whole grain mustard
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Optional: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat beef tenderloin dry and let come to room temperature.
2. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Rub with olive oil.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon, whole grain mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and rosemary.
4. Place tenderloin on a foil-lined baking sheet or roasting pan. Brush half the glaze over the top.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), brushing with remaining glaze halfway.
6. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish with herbs and serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
Make ahead: prep glaze and season meat up to 24 hours in advance.
Pairs well with red wine, garlicky green beans, or a winter salad.
