Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Prepare the Beef

Take the beef tenderloin out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Season the Beef

Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on top.

Sear the Beef

In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Roast the Beef

Transfer the seared beef tenderloin to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).

Rest the Beef

Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water.

Boil the Potatoes

Bring the pot to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Cook the Garlic

While the potatoes are boiling, peel and smash the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Mash the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic and butter, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Mix and Serve

Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Serve hot alongside the beef tenderloin.
