Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Trim excess fat from the beef tenderloin and puncture it with a fork.
Mix honey, soy sauce, orange juice, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and seasonings in a bowl to create the marinade.
Coat the beef thoroughly with the marinade.
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Sear the beef until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Roast in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until desired doneness.
Prepare the sauce by simmering leftover marinade ingredients on low heat while thickening with cornstarch slurry.
Brush the roasted beef with sauce and broil for an additional 3 minutes.
Let rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing.
