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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley.

Step 6

Brush the Dijon herb mixture generously over the entire surface of the beef tenderloin.

Step 7

In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil until the crumbs are lightly coated.

Step 8

Press the panko mixture firmly onto the herb-coated beef tenderloin, ensuring it adheres evenly.

Step 9

Place the crusted beef tenderloin back into the skillet, or transfer it to a baking sheet if using a non-oven-safe skillet.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
