Ingredients


1 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

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
2. Season beef all over with salt and pepper; transfer to prepared pan.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. Let beef stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin (1/2-inch thick) slices. Yields about 3 ounces per serving.



Notes

Well-seasoned beef is as simple as adding garlic, rosemary and oregano. For added dimension, consider stirring 1 to 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish into the garlic mixture (does not affect the recipe's POINTS value).
