🔪 Instructions
Prep the meat Bring the tenderloin to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Sear for crust Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown (about 2–3 minutes per side).
Roast to perfection Add butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Baste the meat, then transfer to a 375°F (190°C) oven. Roast until internal temp reaches:
120°F (49°C) for rare
130°F (54°C) for medium-rare (Usually 15–20 minutes depending on thickness)
Rest and slice Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thick medallions.
Serve with sauce Plate with your chosen sauce and classic sides like pommes fondant, haricots verts, or a red wine jus.
