Garlicky Grilled Beef Tenderloin With Herbs

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

Directions

1. 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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Bring to room temperature before grilling.

4. 4

   Light a grill. Grill the roast directly over moderately high heat, turning often, until nicely charred, about 30 minutes for medium-rare.

5. 5

   Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Slice the roast 1/2 inch thick and serve.
