Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

    Take the 6 oz. beef tenderloin and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Skillet

    In a heavy skillet or frying pan, heat over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Sear the Beef

    Place the seasoned beef tenderloin in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms.

  3. 5

    Check for Doneness

    For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
