Beef Tenderloin Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the seasoned beef tenderloin. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice brown crust forms.

  4. 4

    Roast the Beef

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
