Ingredients

  • 1½ to 2 pounds trimmed beef tenderloin roast
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

  1. Put the tenderloin into a large resealable storage bag with the garlic, thyme, oregano and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate in refrigerator overnight.
