# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Beef Tenderloin
01 -
2 kilograms beef tenderloin, room temperature
02 -
1 teaspoon salt
03 -
0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 -
2 tablespoons avocado oil
→ Herb Butter
05 -
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
06 -
2 teaspoons minced garlic
07 -
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish or Dijon mustard
08 -
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or thyme
# How to Make It:
01 -
Remove excess fat and silverskin from beef tenderloin. Cut in half for even portions. Tuck the thin end under itself and secure with butcher’s twine. Generously season all over with salt and black pepper. Optionally refrigerate uncovered for at least 10 hours to create a robust crust.
02 -
Place the tied and seasoned tenderloin on the counter for approximately 2 hours before cooking to ensure even roasting.
03 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Heat avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides for 3 to 5 minutes each, developing a deep golden crust while retaining a raw centre.
04 -
While searing, combine softened butter with minced garlic, horseradish or mustard, and minced rosemary or thyme. Once seared, coat beef thoroughly with the herb butter mixture.
05 -
Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest section. Transfer skillet to oven or move beef to a baking dish if necessary. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until desired internal temperature is reached for medium-rare. Remove from oven and rest on a cutting board.
06 -
Allow the tenderloin to rest for 15 to 20 minutes so juices redistribute. Slice into 2.5 cm thick medallions and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Using high-quality butter such as Kerrygold enhances the richness of the crust.
02 -
Bringing meat to room temperature ensures an even roast and consistent doneness throughout.
