Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef tenderloin
  • 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 2 large carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one half of the baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Step 3: Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the beef. In another bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and honey, then toss the sliced onion in this glaze.
  4. Step 4: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the partially roasted vegetables to one side. Place the seasoned beef tenderloin in the center and arrange the glazed onions on the opposite side. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, until the beef reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare) and the vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest, tented with foil, for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain. Serve the sliced beef alongside the roasted vegetables and onions.

Tips & Variations

  • Replace rosemary with thyme or sage for a different herbal note.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor and added color.
  • Check beef doneness with a meat thermometer for perfect results every time.
  • Add garlic cloves to the vegetables before roasting for extra aroma.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through. To keep the beef tender, avoid overheating during reheating.
