- Remove the beef tenderloin from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the beef tenderloin in half lengthwise if needed, then trim and tie it with butcher’s twine if necessary.
- Pat dry any excess moisture from the beef tenderloin and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat avocado oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the tenderloin and sear for about 10 minutes total, turning to brown all sides.
- Spread the garlic herb butter mixture over the top side of the beef tenderloin. Insert a probe thermometer if available. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes depending on preferred doneness.
- Remove the roast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the twine, slice the roast into 1-inch thick pieces, and serve. Optionally, accompany with horseradish sauce.

Notes
Feel free to customize with additional spices or substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter option. Allowing the roast to rest is crucial for juiciness.
