Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the tenderloin using a sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Rub the whole tenderloin with olive oil, then generously season it with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme).

  3. 3

    Searing

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

  4. 4

    Roasting

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

  5. 5

    Resting

    Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Slice the tenderloin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve with your choice of sides.
