Beef Tenderloin Recipe
Description
Beef tenderloin sections are first patted dry and coated thoroughly with a mix of extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This seasoning blend imparts aromatic herbal and garlicky notes to the beef’s surface during cooking. Roasting in a 375°F oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour develops a savory crust while cooking the meat to medium-rare, retaining moisture and tenderness.
After roasting, resting the tenderloin for 10 minutes before slicing allows juices to redistribute evenly within the meat, preventing dryness when carved. The texture is tender and the flavor enhanced by the garlic and rosemary seasoning.
This straightforward preparation creates a refined main course that pairs well with potatoes, vegetables, or salads. It suits occasions where a quality cut of beef deserves minimal interference beyond classic seasoning and roasting.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt ( and freshly ground black pepper, to taste)
- 1 pound beef tenderloin trimmed and tied into 2-inch sections
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil, if desired for easy clean up and coat with oil spray.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and black pepper.
- Using paper towels, pat tenderloin dry. Season all over with garlic mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
- Place tenderloin onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 125F to 130F degrees or medium-rare, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until desired doneness. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing to redistribute juices.
- Serve immediately.
