Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tenderloin
Take the tenderloin filets out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly.

Season the Filets
Pat the tenderloin filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Sear the Filets
Add the tenderloin filets to the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until a golden-brown crust forms, then flip the filets.

Finish Cooking
Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. If using, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and a crushed garlic clove to the pan for added flavor.
