Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef tenderloin whole, trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme chopped
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim the beef tenderloin and season generously with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the garlic-herb rub. Massage this mixture onto the tenderloin.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden-brown.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-30 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness. Use an oven thermometer (135°F/57°C for medium-rare).
- Remove from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure to bring the tenderloin to room temperature before cooking for even results.
- Don’t skip the searing step—this helps lock in the flavor and moisture.
- Rest the meat before slicing to ensure a juicy and tender result.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
