Ingredients
4 to 5 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed, cut into two pieces, and tied with butcher’s twine
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
4 tbsp salted butter, softened
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp prepared horseradish or Dijon mustard
1 tsp minced rosemary or thyme
Instructions
1. Trim the beef tenderloin, cut it into two pieces, and tie with butcher’s twine for even cooking.
2. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper, then optionally leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight for enhanced flavor and crust formation.
3. Remove the tenderloin from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
5. Heat avocado or olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides for 3 to 5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
7. In a separate bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, horseradish or Dijon mustard, and minced rosemary or thyme to create a butter mixture.
8. After searing, slather the butter mixture over the tenderloin.
9. Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin.
10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until the desired internal temperature is reached (about 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare).
11. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
12. Slice the rested tenderloin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve.
Notes
Allow the beef tenderloin to rest in the fridge uncovered overnight after seasoning to develop a deeper flavor and better crust.
Use a probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature as it roasts, preventing overcooking and achieving perfect doneness.
Let the meat rest for at least 15 minutes after roasting to keep it juicy and tender when slicing.
