Beef Tenderloin

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparing the Beef Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. 3

    Sear the Beef

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

  4. 4

    Roast the Beef

    Transfer the seared beef to a baking dish, place rosemary sprigs on top, and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender.

  2. 7

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and remaining butter, then mash the potatoes until smooth.

  4. 9

    Add Milk and Season

    Pour in the milk and season with salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy.
