Method

Preparing the Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Season the Tenderloin

    Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil over the entire surface of the meat. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the seasoned tenderloin. Press gently to adhere the herbs to the meat.

Cooking the Tenderloin

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.

  2. 4

    Sear the Tenderloin

    Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbly, add the tenderloin, searing on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

  3. 5

    Roast the Tenderloin

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

  4. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

  5. 7

    Finish with Butter

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour the melted butter over the rested tenderloin before slicing.

Optional Sides Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven (at the same time as the tenderloin) for about 10-12 minutes until tender.

  2. 9

    Prepare Baby Potatoes

    Halve the baby potatoes and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast alongside the tenderloin for about 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
