Ingredients

  • 1 (4-pound) trimmed center-cut beef tenderloin
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
  • Kitchen Twine
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions 

  • Let tenderloin sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 450˚F.
  • Pat dry the tenderloin with paper towels. Rub tenderloin with olive oil and generously season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • In a small bowl mix together minced garlic and chopped rosemary; rub all around the tenderloin.
  • Place tenderloin over pieces of precut kitchen twine spaced one-inch apart and tie them closed. You can also ask the butcher to tie the tenderloin for you.

  • Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add tenderloin and sear for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned all around.
  • Transfer skillet to the oven and continue to cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130˚F. Cooking time can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of your tenderloin; always check for desired doneness using a meat thermometer.
  • Remove skillet from oven and transfer meat to a cutting board. Tent a piece of foil over the tenderloin and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting.
  • Cut into 1/2-inch slices and serve.
