BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST WITH GARLIC-ROASTED VEGETABLES

Ingredients

1 beef Tenderloin Roast (4 to 5 pounds)
1 large head garlic
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
2-1/4 pounds potatoes (such as fingerling, russet or red potatoes), quartered if large
4 small onions, halved
6 small plum tomatoes, halved
2 medium zucchini, sliced
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, divided
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

1 – Preheat oven to 425F.
2 – Cut about 1/4 inch off top of garlic head, exposing cloves. Remove outer papery skin, leaving head intact.
3 – Place in center of 12-inch square heavy-duty aluminum foil; drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Bring two opposite sides of foil over garlic; seal with double fold. Fold in open ends to seal.
4 – Combine remaining vegetables, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in large bowl; toss to coat.
5 – Combine remaining teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.
6 – Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover.
7 – Place garlic, potatoes and onions on rimmed baking sheet.
8 – Roast tenderloin in 425F oven 45 to 55 minutes for medium rare; 55 to 65 minutes for medium doneness.
9 – Roast garlic, potatoes and onions 30 minutes.
10 – Add tomatoes and zucchini to pan; continue to roast 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
11 – Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135F for medium rare; 145F for medium. Tent with foil. Let stand 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10-15F to reach 145F for medium rare; 160F for medium.)
12 – Squeeze garlic pulp over vegetables; stir to combine. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese, as desired.
13 – Carve roast; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese. Serve with vegetables.
NOTES:
Beef Tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef available. It is lean and boneless and is sold as a whole roast or a smaller center-cut roast. This roast also meets government guidelines for lean.
