🔥 Million Dollar Beef Tenderloin

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the tenderloin

  • Trim and tie the beef tenderloin with butcher’s twine.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Let rest uncovered in the fridge overnight (optional for better crust).
  • Bring to room temperature before cooking.

2. Sear the meat

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear tenderloin on all sides (3–5 minutes per side) until golden brown.

3. Add garlic butter

  • Mix butter, garlic, horseradish, and rosemary.
  • Slather over the seared tenderloin.

4. Roast

  • Insert a meat thermometer and roast in the oven until internal temp reaches:
    • 125°F for rare
    • 135°F for medium-rare
    • 145°F for medium
  • This takes about 20–25 minutes depending on thickness.

5. Rest and slice

  • Remove from oven and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
  • Slice into 1-inch medallions and serve.

🌟 Tips:

  • Serve with creamy horseradish sauce or red wine reduction.
