Solomillo de ternera asado al horno

Ingredientes

• 1 pound beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• Sea salt (to taste)
• Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly coat the beef tenderloin with this herbed butter mixture.

3. 3

   Warm your cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Once hot, lay the beef tenderloin in the skillet. Add butter and let it melt, ensuring the beef is coated. Sear the beef for about 2 minutes on each side until you get a golden-brown crust.

5. 5

   After searing, move the skillet with the beef into the already-preheated oven.

6. 6

   Roast for 15-20 minutes. For a medium-rare finish, ensure the meat's internal temperature is around 135°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer for this step.

7. 7

   Once done, take the skillet out of the oven. Allow the tenderloin to sit for approximately 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle nicely. Then, carve into thick, beautiful slices.

8. 8

   Your cast iron beef tenderloin is ready to serve!
