Tenderloin Filet Recipe

Tenderloin Filet Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the beef tenderloin filet from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3. 3

   Season the Steak

   Pat the filet dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Sear the Filet

   Once the pan is hot, place the seasoned filet in the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   Flip the filet over and add the smashed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the pan. Sear for an additional 4-5 minutes.

6. 6

   Baste the Steak

   Using a spoon, baste the filet with the melted butter and the pan juices for enhanced flavor. Continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached (130°F for medium-rare).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the filet from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the tenderloin filet and serve it with your favorite sides.
