Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) Beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat beef dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
