Ingredients

sprays cooking spray

1 pound raw lean beef tenderloin

1/2 tsp table salt

1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

1 Tbsp rosemary, fresh, minced, or 1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp dried oregano

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.

Season beef all over with salt and pepper; transfer to prepared pan.

Combine garlic, rosemary and oregano in a small bowl. Rub herb mixture all over top of beef; gently press herbs into beef with your hands so it sticks.

Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of beef reads 160ºF, about 45 to 50 minutes (for medium meat; cook longer for medium to well done meat).

Let beef stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin (1/2-inch thick) slices. Yields about 3 ounces per serving.
