Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Rest Time: 5 minutes Total Time: 2 hours 25 mins Difficulty Level: Easy Recipe Makes 3 Servings
– 1 pound beef tenderloin
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- Sea salt, to taste
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly coat the beef tenderloin with this herbed butter mixture.
3. Warm your cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Once hot, lay the beef tenderloin in the skillet. Add butter and let it melt, ensuring the beef is coated. Sear the beef for about 2 minutes on each side until you get a golden-brown crust.
5. After searing, move the skillet with the beef into the already-preheated oven.
6. Roast for 15-20 minutes. For a medium-rare finish, ensure the meat's internal temperature is around 135°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer for this step.
7. Once done, take the skillet out of the oven. Allow the tenderloin to sit for approximately 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle nicely. Then, carve into thick, beautiful slices.
8. Your cast iron beef tenderloin is ready to serve!
