• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix everything well to form a marinade.

3. Place the beef tenderloin on a clean cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.

4. Rub the marinade all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated. Let the beef rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.

6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

7. Remove the tenderloin from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices.

8. Drizzle the lime juice over the beef and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.

9. Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and serve with your favorite sides.
