Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces beef tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Cut the beef tenderloin into four 4-ounce medallions and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season both sides of the steak medallions with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the steak medallions in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until a crust forms and the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the steak from the skillet and let them rest on a platter covered loosely with foil for 5 minutes.
While the steak is resting, add the prepared garlic herb butter to the skillet and let it melt, stirring occasionally to scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
After resting, plate the steak medallions and spoon the melted garlic herb butter over each medallion.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
