Equipment
- air fryer
- instant-read thermometer
- kitchen twine
Ingredients
- 2 lb Beef Tenderloin Roast, trimmed and tied
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Instructions
- Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. This ensures even cooking throughout the roast.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder into a paste. Rub this mixture generously over the entire surface of the tenderloin, pressing the herbs into the meat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned tenderloin in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare, turning the roast over halfway through cooking. For medium, add 3 to 5 more minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part. Pull at 130 degrees F for medium-rare or 140 degrees F for medium.
- While the tenderloin cooks, mix the softened butter with the dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.
- Transfer the cooked tenderloin to a cutting board and immediately spread the mustard butter over the top while the meat is still hot. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove the kitchen twine, slice the tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick medallions, and serve. Spoon any collected juices from the cutting board over the slices.
