Main Ingredients
- 5 pounds Beef Tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Coarsely Ground Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for searing the beef tenderloin, which locks in juices and flavor.
- Season the Beef: Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then evenly coat it with minced garlic, sea salt, and coarsely ground pepper to infuse it with savory aromas and balanced seasoning.
- Prepare for Roasting: Place the seasoned beef tenderloin into the center of a roasting pan to ensure even heat distribution during cooking.
- Roast the Tenderloin: Roast the beef for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) indicating a medium-rare doneness.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes allowing the juices to redistribute, resulting in a succulent and tender roast.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness to avoid overcooking.
- Allow resting time to ensure the beef is juicy and tender.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste based on preference.
- Let the meat come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking.
