Ingredients

For the Marinade

1 whole Beef Tenderloin The heart of this recipe; ensures a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary Provides aromatic herbal notes; can swap with fresh oregano or thyme.
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme Compliments the beef beautifully; use dried thyme at one-third amount.
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard Adds a layer of tanginess; yellow mustard can be used.
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Brings a savory umami depth; soy sauce can replace it.

For Seasoning
