Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the beef tenderloin.

Step 4

Place the beef on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium rare is reached.

While the beef is roasting, prepare the dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
