A unique way to cook the tenderest cut of beef to perfection!
- 2 8 oz. Beef Tenderloin Steaks – about 2 inches thick – at room temperature rinsed and patted dry.
- Vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Cast iron skillet or heavy bottom pan – oven safe
- Instant read thermometer
- Place oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Brush meat thoroughly with vegetable oil on all sides
- Season top and bottom with a layer of the kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Be generous. The meat is thick.
- Set the meat aside and preheat your pan to medium high heat. It’s ready when a few spats of water dance on the top and quickly dry up. Be sure your oven is preheated before you put the meat into the pan.
- Place the meat into the pan. It should sizzle. And it will smoke slightly, so turn on the exhaust fan. Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes brown and has somewhat of a crust.
- This side will be your presentation side: the side the faces up on the plate. If it’s browning too quickly or burning, turn the heat down a bit. Turn the meat over and cook for 2-3 minutes until it get brown.
- Now brown the sides of the meat, but for only about a minute each. It’s ok if there’s a little bit that you missed.
- Once browned, place the pan into the oven and cook for about 5-7 minutes for medium rare. You should check it after 5 minutes, as oven temperature may vary. Use the finger test to check the doneness.
Enjoy!
