Method
Directions
Prepare the Beef
Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.
Season the Beef
Generously season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the Beef
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Add Aromatics
Add the garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the beef with the oil and juices.
Check Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be about 130°F (54°C).
Rest and Serve
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
