This classic dish is truly a showstopper with its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, savory taste. Featuring simple, high-quality ingredients and a straightforward preparation style, this recipe lets the flavor of the beef shine through perfectly. Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 beef tenderloin (approximately 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin on all sides until browned, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet, and gently rub them onto the seared beef tenderloin.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.
  6. Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
  7. While the beef rests, add butter to the skillet and let it melt, stirring to combine with the flavorful juices.
  8. Slice the beef tenderloin into thick slices and drizzle the pan juices over the top.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, let the beef tenderloin come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout. Make sure to sear the beef over high heat to create a nice crust while locking in the juices. Allow the beef to rest after cooking to retain its juiciness and tenderness. Serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad and enjoy!
