Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preparing the Tenderloin

    Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in cooking it evenly.

  2. 2

    Seasoning the Meat

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring an even coat. Drizzle olive oil over the meat, and rub it in again to adhere the seasonings.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Searing the Tenderloin

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt and foam. Carefully place the seasoned tenderloin in the skillet and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side, creating a nice crust.

  2. 4

    Roasting the Tenderloin

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). After searing, transfer the skillet with the tenderloin into the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

  3. 5

    Resting the Meat

    Once the tenderloin is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

  4. 6

    Slicing and Serving

    After resting, slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly tender and flavorful beef tenderloin!
