Master the slow-roast technique for a supremely tender, edge-to-edge pink **Oven Beef Tenderloin**. This recipe uses low heat and a high-heat sear for the most elegant results.
1 whole Beef Tenderloin, center-cut, approximately four to five pounds, trimmed
4 tablespoons high-quality unsalted butter (or two ounces)
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for finishing
1 tablespoon finely cracked black peppercorns
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1. Trim any silver skin and excess fat, then tie the roast with butcher’s twine at one and one half-inch intervals.
2. Combine softened butter, one tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper into a rub and coat the entire tenderloin.
3. Place the seasoned roast on a wire rack over a baking sheet and rest uncovered at room temperature for a minimum of two hours.
4. Preheat oven to two hundred fifty Fahrenheit. Slow-roast for one to one and a half hours, or until internal temperature reaches one hundred twenty Fahrenheit.
5. Remove roast and set oven to four hundred fifty Fahrenheit. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet until smoking.
6. Sear the tenderloin on all sides in the screaming-hot skillet for thirty to sixty seconds per side until a deep crust forms.
7. Return skillet to the oven for four to six minutes.
8. Transfer to a clean rack, cover loosely with foil, and rest for fifteen to twenty minutes.
9. Remove twine, slice against the grain, and sprinkle with flaked sea salt before serving.
Ensure the thermometer probe is in the dead center of the thickest part of the roast for an accurate reading.
Do not skip the room-temperature rest, as this is crucial for an even cook and better crust.
Resting the roast for the full fifteen to twenty minutes allows internal juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
