Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Trim the Tenderloin
If not pre-trimmed, remove any silverskin and excess fat from the beef tenderloin using a sharp knife. Ensure the meat is clean and well-shaped.
- 2
Season the Tenderloin
Rub the entire surface of the tenderloin with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt and black pepper. Make sure to cover all sides.
- 3
Prepare Herb Mixture
Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves. Mix these together in a small bowl and then rub the mixture all over the seasoned tenderloin.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 5
Sear the Tenderloin
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- 6
Roast the Tenderloin
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the tenderloin for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- 7
Rest and Serve
Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
