Preparing the Tenderloin

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the tenderloin cooks evenly and thoroughly.
Cooking the Tenderloin

Sear the Tenderloin
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until it's browned.

Roast in the Oven
Transfer the skillet with the seared tenderloin to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
