Roast Beef Tenderloin Recipe (Crazy Easy)
Description
This roast beef tenderloin recipe centers on a 4-pound beef tenderloin trimmed and seasoned with dried oregano, coarse salt, and ground black pepper. Roasting at 425°F for 40 to 55 minutes develops a savory exterior while cooking the meat to desired doneness. Removing the roast from heat and letting it rest loosely covered with foil for 15 minutes allows the internal juices to settle, resulting in tender, juicy slices.
The method is minimalistic, highlighting the beef’s natural flavor with just a few seasonings. The internal temperature rises slightly during resting, so timing is important. Slicing into 1-inch thick pieces provides hearty portions to serve alongside your choice of sides.
This roast suits formal dinners or special occasions where a simple technique producing a classic beef presentation is preferred. Adjust roasting time based on thickness and preferred level of doneness.
Ingredients
- 4 lb beef tenderloin
- 2 tsp black pepper ground

Instructions

- Season the Beef by rubbing oregano leaves, salt, and pepper all over it.

- Remove roast from the pan, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
- Cut the roast into 1-inch thick slices. Season with additional salt if desired. Serve with your favorite side and enjoy!
