Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 whole beef tenderloin (butt), 4 to 5 pounds (1.8 to 2.3 kilograms)
Seasonings and Spices:
- ⅓ cup whole peppercorns
- Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
- Lemon pepper seasoning
Fats and Oils:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a scorching 475°F (246°C), ensuring complete preheating while meat preparation commences.
- Cleanse the beef tenderloin under chilled running water, meticulously patting dry with fresh paper towels to optimize seasoning penetration.
- Employ a razor-sharp culinary knife to delicately eliminate excess fatty tissue and remove the translucent membrane, preserving a gossamer fat layer to maintain moisture integrity.
- Generously massage Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and zesty lemon pepper across the entire meat surface, creating an even, aromatic coating.
- Transfer whole peppercorns into a robust resealable plastic bag, crushing them into rustic fragments using a meat mallet or sturdy kitchen implement.
- Combine extra virgin olive oil and unsalted butter in a heavyweight cast-iron skillet, heating until the mixture reaches a smoking point.
- Gently introduce the seasoned tenderloin into the blazing hot skillet, executing a precise sear on each side for 1 to 2 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer the seared meat onto a wire cooling rack positioned atop a rimmed baking sheet, meticulously pressing crushed peppercorns onto its surface and dotting with additional butter cubes.
- Insert a digital meat thermometer into the thickest portion, roasting until the internal temperature approaches 140°F (60°C), vigilantly monitoring to prevent overcooking.
- Allow the roasted tenderloin a tranquil 10-minute resting period, enabling internal juices to redistribute, then slice and garnish with pan drippings for an enhanced gustatory experience.
Notes
- Protect your perfectly cooked beef by letting it rest after roasting, allowing internal juices to redistribute and maintain maximum tenderness.
- Achieve restaurant-quality results with a meat thermometer, guaranteeing precise doneness and preventing dry, overcooked meat.
- Create a stunning golden crust by searing at high heat, which locks in savory juices and develops deep, complex flavors.
- Crush whole peppercorns instead of using pre-ground pepper to unleash more vibrant and intense seasoning throughout the meat.
- Select premium beef tenderloin from a trusted butcher, ensuring bright red color and exceptional quality for an unforgettable dining experience.
