Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef tenderloin.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until it is browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet or pan to the preheated oven. Roast the beef tenderloin for 20-25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

While the beef cooks, prepare the sour cream mustard sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Mix well and set aside.

Step 8

Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 9

Slice the beef tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve the beef tenderloin warm with the sour cream mustard sauce on the side.
