Ingredients

  • 3 - 3.5 pound beef tenderloin trimmed and tied
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fresh minced thyme
  • ½ teaspoon fresh minced sage

Instructions

  • Bring the beef tenderloin to room temperature by allowing it to sit on the counter for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, grated garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, thyme, and sage.
  • Pat the beef tenderloin dry with a paper towel and then rub the compound butter evenly over every side.
  • Place the beef tenderloin in the air fryer and cook it at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to cook the tenderloin for another 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 120 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Cover the beef tenderloin with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the beef tenderloin with your favorite sides and enjoy immediately.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Notes

  • Check with your butcher to see if they can tie your beef tenderloin. 
  • Don't overcook your tenderloin. It is meant to be served with a pink center.
