Beef Tenderloin

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Beef Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. 4

    Sear the Beef

    In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Roast the Beef

    Transfer the seared beef to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is 135°F/57°C).

  6. 6

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform chunks.

  2. 8

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

  3. 9

    Drain the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

  4. 10

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
