Beef tenderloin is a classic and elegant main course that is perfect for a special occasion or a fancy dinner party. This particular recipe features a flavorful garlic-horseradish crust that adds a unique twist to the lean and tender beef. The crust is made with roasted garlic, prepared horseradish, and a blend of herbs and spices that give the tenderloin a pungent and savory kick. The beef itself is seared in a hot skillet and then roasted in the oven until it reaches the desired level of doneness. The result is a juicy and tender beef tenderloin that is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2.	Cut the top off the head of garlic and place it in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil.
3.	Drizzle the top with olive oil, then wrap the foil around the garlic and tightly seal.
4.	Roast the garlic for 30 to 35 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
5.	Once the garlic has cooled, squeeze the roasted cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
6.	Mix the mashed garlic with the horseradish, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper.
7.	Rub the tenderloin all over with the garlic-horseradish mixture.
8.	Heat a large skillet over high heat and coat with cooking spray.
9.	Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
10.	Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the tenderloin for 25 to 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
11.	Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
