Garlicky Grilled Beef Tenderloin With Herbs

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 4 1⁄2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 1 ⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons salt

Preparation

Step 1

Fold the thin end of the tenderloin roast under to make the meat an even thickness. Tie the roast at 1-inch intervals and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the garlic, pepper, thyme, marjoram, rosemary and salt. Rub the herb oil all over the roast and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Bring to room temperature before grilling.
Light a grill. Grill the roast directly over moderately high heat, turning often, until nicely charred, about 30 minutes for medium-rare.
Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the roast 1/2 inch thick and serve.
