| 1 | beef tenderloin roast, (3 to 4 pounds) trimmed of fat |
| 1 | tablespoon black peppercorns |
| 2 | tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil |
| 4‑1/2 | teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme |
| 1 | tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary |
| 1 | tablespoon minced garlic |
| Salt and black pepper (optional) | |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. To hold shape of roast, tie roast with cotton string at 1-1/2-inch intervals. Place roast on meat rack in shallow roasting pan.
- Place peppercorns in small heavy resealable food storage bag. Squeeze out excess air; seal bag tightly. Pound peppercorns with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until peppercorns are cracked.
- Combine cracked peppercorns, basil, thyme, rosemary and garlic in small bowl; rub over top surface of roast.
- Roast 40 to 50 minutes until internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 150°F for medium when tested with meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of roast.
- Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5°F to 10°F during stand time. Remove and discard string. To serve, carve crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices with large carving knife. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
