Dijon and Avocado Rubbed Beef Tenderloin Roast

I love a show-stopping roast that’s surprisingly simple to prepare. This Dijon and avocado rubbed beef tenderloin combines tangy mustard with creamy avocado for a crust that locks in juices. It’s perfect for special occasions or a Sunday dinner that feels indulgent while keeping carbs low.

Dijon and Avocado Rubbed Beef Tenderloin Roast

Ingredients

  • tablespoon olive oil
  • (4 pound) trimmed beef tenderloin
  • cloves garlic
  • /4 (8 ounce) jar Dijon mustard
  • ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
  • /4 cup steak seasoning

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    I start by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining a roasting pan with foil. Then I heat a large skillet over high heat, add the oil, and let it get shimmering hot. The tenderloin goes in, searing for about 5 minutes, turning to brown all sides. While that’s happening, I blend the garlic, mustard, avocado, and steak seasoning until completely smooth. The seared roast gets a generous coating of this vibrant green mixture. Place it in the prepared pan and roast until it reaches your preferred doneness—about 40 minutes for a perfect medium. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep those juices inside. The crust turns beautifully golden, and the aroma fills the kitchen. It’s a foolproof way to impress guests with minimal effort. I always use a meat thermometer to nail the temperature: 135°F for medium-rare is my sweet spot.

Chef's Tip

I always bring the beef to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking—it ensures even cooking. For an extra flavor boost, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the avocado blend.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven to maintain tenderness.

Variation Tips

Swap Dijon for whole-grain mustard for extra texture. Serve with roasted asparagus or a fresh arugula salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
