Ingredients:
- 1 (2-3 lb) beef tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- Kitchen twine (for tying the roast)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Season the beef: Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the tenderloin, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Tie the tenderloin: Tie the tenderloin with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the beef: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
- Roast the tenderloin: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time for your desired doneness.
- Rest and serve: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Remove the twine and slice into thick medallions.
