Ingredients
Scale
-
- 2–3 pounds of beef tenderloin
-
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
- Olive oil
-
- 4–5 cloves of garlic, minced
-
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
-
- Butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until nicely browned.
- Transfer the seared tenderloin to a baking dish.
- Rub the minced garlic over the beef, and place rosemary sprigs on top.
- Add a few pats of butter on the tenderloin for extra richness.
- Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the desired level of doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or adjust according to preference.
- Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a moist and tender result.
