Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Tenderloin

    Place the beef tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Sear the Tenderloin

    Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear the tenderloin on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until it is nicely browned.

  3. 5

    Roast the Tenderloin

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender result.
