Description

A melt-in-your-mouth Beef Tenderloin, expertly seasoned and seared to perfection, creating a dish that brings family and friends together.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Beef Tenderloin (certified Angus)
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or Butter
  • 34 cloves Garlic (crushed)
  • Fresh Rosemary (to taste)
  • Fresh Thyme (to taste)
  • Optional: Red wine or balsamic vinegar (for marinade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tenderloin: Trim silver skin from the tenderloin and pat it dry.
  2. Season Generously: Season with salt and pepper, then let it sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil/butter, and sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  4. Add Aromatics: Toss in garlic and fresh herbs while searing.
  5. Roast in the Oven: Transfer to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Rest the Meat: Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice against the grain and serve with desired sides.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for accuracy and allow the beef to rest for enhanced juiciness.
