Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds Beef Tenderloin
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Red Wine
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. This is key for a nice sear.
  • Season the beef generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.
  • Rub it to adhere the seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.
  • Add the beef and sear it for about 3 minutes on each side until you get a rich, brown crust.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Roast the beef for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to confirm the desired doneness — aim for about 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • While the beef roasts, combine the red wine, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook until the butter melts and the mixture is aromatic.
  • Serve drizzled over the beef slices.
