Main Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

    Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Make sure to cover all sides.

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin to the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Add crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Spoon some of the hot oil over the beef to enhance the flavor.

  5. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add butter to the pan and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (for rare).

  6. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the beef from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Optional Side Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the beef is resting, prepare the asparagus. Trim the ends and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.

  2. 8

    Cook the Baby Potatoes

    Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and toss with butter, salt, and parsley if desired.
