Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Tenderloin

Take the Wagyu tenderloin out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

2

Season the Meat

Generously season the tenderloin on both sides with salt and black pepper.

3

Heat the Pan

In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Sear the Tenderloin

Add the tenderloin to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness.

5

Add Flavorings

In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, minced garlic, and fresh thyme to the pan. Baste the tenderloin with the melted butter and aromatics.

6

Rest the Meat

Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with foil, for about 10 minutes before slicing.

7

Serve

Slice the tenderloin against the grain and serve with your choice of sides or sauce.
