Beef Tenderloin
Optional Sides
Method
Preparation of Beef Tenderloin
- 1
Prepare the Beef
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- 2
Season the Beef
Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 3
Add Aromatics
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh rosemary. Sprinkle them over the beef tenderloin, pressing them into the meat.
- 4
Sear the Beef
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 5
Roast in the Oven
Transfer the skillet with the seared beef to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F (54°C) for medium-rare).
- 6
Rest the Beef
Once cooked, remove the beef from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- 7
Finish with Butter
After resting, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the juices from the cutting board, stirring to combine. Pour this mixture over the sliced beef tenderloin before serving.
Preparation of Optional Sides
- 8
Prepare the Asparagus
While the beef is roasting, wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Toss with olive oil, salt, and place on a baking sheet.
- 9
Prepare the Baby Potatoes
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in halves or quarters. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and place them on the same baking sheet as the asparagus.
- 10
Roast the Sides
Place the baking sheet in the oven during the last 15 minutes of the beef cooking time. Roast until tender and lightly browned.
