Directions
Prepare grill and preheat to high. Lightly coat beef with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place beef on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Reduce heat to medium. Grill 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 145° or until slightly less than your desired degree of doneness, turning to brown on all sides.
Remove from grill and place on tin foil (cut large enough to wrap tenderloin in). Melt butter and drizzle over beef. Wrap beef in foil and let beef stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle parsley, thyme, and rosemary in an even layer on an 18 x 15–inch sheet of plastic wrap. Brush mustard evenly over beef. Place beef in herb mixture on plastic wrap; roll beef over herbs, pressing gently. Remove plastic wrap and slice beef.
