1
Prepare the Tenderloin
Remove the tenderloin filet from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Meat
Pat the tenderloin filet dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the olive oil and fresh rosemary onto the filet to coat evenly.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Allow it to become hot, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Sear the Filet
Place the seasoned tenderloin filet in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
5
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the filet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is typically around 130°F/54°C).
6
Optional Butter Baste
For added flavor, add butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking and spoon the melted butter over the filet.

7
Let it Rest
Remove the filet from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8
Serve
Slice the tenderloin filet and serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs on the side, if desired.
