Perfect Oven Roasted Beef Tenderloin

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius), stating the temperature is crucial to achieving the perfect crispy exterior while maintaining the tenderness inside - a lesson learned from my countless cooking experiences.

Rub your beef tenderloin thoroughly with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors. This marination step drastically heightens the flavor of the final dish.

Heat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium heat. Add the tenderloin and sear it on all sides until browned. Searing the meat before roasting reaps a flavorful crust and locks in the juice for the melt-in-your-mouth experience.

After searing, directly move the pan to the preheated oven. Roast the beef for about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Being cautious with the roasting time helps avoid overcooking and loss of juice that often results in dry meat.

Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Resting is a must-do step in meat roasting, as it allows all the juice to settle down, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.

Finally, slice the tenderloin and serve warm for the perfect homemade fine-dine experience!
