Method
Preparing the Meat
- 1
Marinate the Beef
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Add them to the marinade and mix again.

Coat the Beef
Place the beef tenderloin in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Cooking the Meat

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

Sear the Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Remove the beef from the marinade and sear it in the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Roast in the Oven
Transfer the seared beef to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
