Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin filet
- 2 tablespoons coffee beans (whole)
- 2 medium pods pasilla chile
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, finely grind the coffee beans, pasilla chiles, black peppercorns, and kosher salt into a coarse rub.
Pat the beef tenderloin filet dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil evenly over the surface, then coat thoroughly with the coffee-pasilla mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
Sear the beef filet for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Add minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan, spooning the mixture over the filet as it browns.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F), or adjust to desired doneness using a meat thermometer.
Once roasted, remove the filet from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes, loosely tented with aluminum foil.
Slice the beef filets into thick pieces and serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
