Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ground pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly sprinkle tenderloin with salt (and pepper if desired) on all sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large sauté pan over medium/high heat. Sear each side of the beef tenderloin for 2 minutes.
- Remove pan from the stove, place in the oven and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium rare and 10 minutes for medium. (See below for internal temperatures and approximate cooking times for each.)
- Remove steak from the oven. Place a tablespoon of butter in the pan, swirl to melt and spoon over the steak.
- Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For Different Doneness: If you want to cook the steaks to varying doneness levels, cut the beef tenderloin into 4 even filets before cooking. This makes it easier to customize cooking times for each steak.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfectly cooked filets, aim for 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium. A good meat thermometer will be your best friend!
- Let It Rest: Skipping this step can cause the juices to run out, which is no good! Allow the beef to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Doneness Internal Temperatures:
- Very rare: 120-125 degrees (in the oven for 4 minutes)
- Medium rare: 125-130 degrees(in the oven 5-6 minutes)
- Medium 135-140 degrees (in the oven 6-7 minutes)
- Medium well 145-150 degrees (in the oven 8-9 minutes)
- Well done: 160 degrees (in the oven 10 minutes plus)
