Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5 to 6 pound) beef tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat a 12-inch heavy pan over medium to high heat.
- Cut the roast in half to fit into a 12-inch pan. Half of the roast should have a thinner end that narrows. Fold the thin end against the rest of the roast and use kitchen twine to tie it together, creating an even thickness in the roast. Season the roast generously with salt, black pepper and white pepper.
- Sear the roast in the frying pan from all four sides until browned, approx. 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Place in a frying pan or 9×13 pan and fry in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the desired cooking point of 120-125 degrees is reached. Before serving, let the meat rest loosely with aluminium foil for 10 minutes.
- While the meat is resting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the whole garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until the butter bubbles and foams with constant stirring. The colour of the butter starts to change. Once you approach a dark golden brown, remove it from the heat and pour it into a heat-resistant container. Remove garlic cloves.
- Cut the roast into 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices and sprinkle with brown butter. Serve immediately.
