Honey-glazed beef roast with garlic and thyme is an easy special-occasion main. The meat is seared in a hot cast iron pan, brushed with a glaze of honey, Dijon, garlic, thyme and paprika, and roasted until rosy inside with a caramelized crust.
Sear Hot, Roast to Temperature
Get the pan very hot before searing so the outside browns quickly. Brush on the glaze and finish in the oven. Use a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing.
Kosher Notes
This is a meat (fleishig) recipe. Beef tenderloin is from the hindquarter and rarely sold kosher outside Israel, so ask your butcher for a mock tender or rib eye roast.
Leftovers
Leftovers keep for 3 days; reheat gently in a low oven.
