  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Beef Tenderloin

  • 4–6 lb beef tenderloin roast (center cut preferred)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Stuffing

  • 2 cups plain or panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain or panko breadcrumbs with melted unsalted butter, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a moist, flavorful stuffing mixture.
  2. Prepare the beef tenderloin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully butterfly the beef tenderloin by making a lengthwise cut down the center, slicing almost all the way through, and then opening it like a book to create a flat surface.
  3. Season the beef: Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over both sides of the butterflied beef tenderloin to enhance its natural flavors.
  4. Stuff the tenderloin: Spread the breadcrumb stuffing mixture evenly over the inside surface of the butterflied beef. Roll the beef gently but firmly to enclose the stuffing, and then tie it securely with kitchen twine at regular intervals to keep the stuffing inside during cooking.
  5. Sear the beef: Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed beef tenderloin on all sides until it develops a rich brown crust, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in juices and adds flavor.
  6. Roast the beef: Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the beef tenderloin for 20-30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove the beef from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Remove twine, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Allow the beef to come to room temperature for even cooking before preparing.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to achieve your desired doneness accurately.
  • Letting the meat rest after roasting helps retain its juiciness.
  • You can substitute fresh parsley with thyme or rosemary for a different herb flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a crisper crust, broil the beef for 1-2 minutes after roasting.
