Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Herb Beef Tenderloin Roast
  1. Remove the beef tenderloin roast from the refrigerator, allowing it to come to room temperature for 1-2 hours before cooking. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Blend until fully incorporated.
  3. Carefully trim excess fat from the beef tenderloin roast and tie it with kitchen twine. Pat dry, then season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Sear the beef for about 10 minutes, turning until golden brown.
  5. Spread the herbed butter mixture over the seared beef. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, aiming for medium-rare (130°F or 54°C).
  6. Allow the roast to rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces for serving.
