Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Rub the beef tenderloin generously with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme.
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan for even cooking.
Roast it in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes to create a crust.
Reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare (about 30-40 minutes).
Baste the roast with beef broth or red wine every 15 minutes.
Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing into it.

Notes

Consider adding smoked paprika or topping with mushroom sauce for a unique flavor.
