Instructions
Beef Tenderloin
Remove the beef from the fridge and bring to room temperature approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to cooking.
Trim the beef of all fat. To make sure you end up with the correct size roast, look for a roast that is 2.75-3 lbs prior to trimming the fat.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Get a cast iron skillet preheating over high heat.
Season the beef with the kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper all over. Use your hands to massage it into the meat.
Spray the cast iron skillet with the cooking spray, and add the meat to the pan.
Sear for 2-3 minutes per side.
In the meantime, mince the garlic cloves, and chop up the fresh herbs.
Combine the butter (not melted), with the garlic, herbs, and more fresh cracked pepper.
Remove the beef from the pan once it's seared on all sides, and place on a cutting board.
Rub the butter mixture all over the meat.
Return the meat to the cast iron skillet and place in the oven to roast.
For a medium-rare to medium temperature, cook for about 25 minutes.
Use your meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature you desire; cooking time varies depending on the roast and the oven itself.
Remove the cooked beef from the pan and place on a cutting board to rest for at least ten minutes before cutting.
Cut into 6 equal sized servings.
Lemon Garlic Aioli
Combine the aioli ingredients in a small bowl.
Serve on the side of the beef as a dipping sauce, if desired.
