Garlic Herb Beef Tenderloin
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp butter (optional for added flavor)
—
Instructions:
1. Prepare the beef:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Make the garlic herb mixture:
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well.
3. Sear the beef:
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Add garlic herb mixture:
Remove the skillet from heat. Brush the garlic herb mixture generously over the seared tenderloin. Add butter to the skillet for extra flavor.
5. Roast in the oven:
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (55°C) for medium-rare.
6. Rest and slice:
Remove the tenderloin from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice into thick medallions.
7. Serve:
Arrange the tenderloin medallions on a platter and drizzle with the juices from the skillet. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
