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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the beef tenderloin into four 4-ounce medallions and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Step 2
Season both sides of the steak medallions with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
Remove the steak from the skillet and let them rest on a platter covered loosely with foil for 5 minutes.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
After resting, plate the steak medallions and spoon the melted garlic herb butter over each medallion.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
