🍖 Million Dollar Beef Tenderloin 🏆  
A luxurious centerpiece for intimate family dinners or special occasions!  

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted  
- 2 tablespoons olive oil  
- 1 teaspoon salt  
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard  
- 1/2 cup beef broth  
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped  
- 4 cloves garlic, minced  
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped  
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper  
- 1 3-4 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the dish.  
2. In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until you have a fragrant herb paste.  
3. Coat the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then evenly rub the herb mixture over the entire surface of the meat.  
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until it is beautifully browned, which should take 4-5 minutes.  
5. Transfer the skillet with the seared tenderloin into the preheated oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until your preferred doneness: 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.  
6. During the final 5 minutes of roasting, pour the melted butter and beef broth over the tenderloin to keep it juicy and infuse it with extra flavor.  
7. Once out of the oven, let the tenderloin rest for about 10 minutes. This step helps seal in the juices, ensuring each slice remains succulent.  
8. Slice the rested tenderloin into even pieces and drizzle the pan drippings on top. Garnish with fresh rosemary for a polished look and serve to your lucky guests!
