Description

This beef tenderloin recipe is first seared to create a flavorful crust, then roasted to perfection. A simple way to prepare a fancy, melt-in-your-mouth meal!


Ingredients

  • Peeled and trimmed beef tenderloin
  • 3 oz high-temp oil
  • 3 tablespoons salt and pepper mix

Instructions

  1. Place the tenderloin on a sheet pan or cutting board. Rub the salt and pepper mix all over the meat, coating it evenly.
  2. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper seasoning.
  3. Rub the high-temperature oil all over the tenderloin, then heat a large sauté pan over high heat.
  4. Carefully place the tenderloin in the hot pan and sear each side for 3-5 minutes. Once done, transfer the tenderloin to a baking rack set over a sheet pan.
  5. Roast at 350°F for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the thickest part reaches 125°F internally.

Notes

If you have any leftover beef tenderloin, store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. It should last for up to 3 days.
