This tenderloin came out sooooo good, and it was SO SIMPLE! Paired with roasted baby potatoes that I picked up from the farmer’s market + some thick asparagus, this meal was ready in 30 mins.
The grass-fed tenderloin from PRE Brands cut like butter! It was so tender, juicy, and flavorful! Check out their website here to order yourself a chunk and make this ASAP!
It may sound fancy, but I only used salt & pepper {and a little garlic powder on the veggies & potatoes} to season, because the natural flavors are just too good to cover up! Simple can be luxurious, too!
For the pan-seared tenderloin:
Red palm oil from Nutiva was perfect for searing the meat on a high flame, and gave it a such a nice crust! If you don’t have red palm oil {I highly recommend picking some up for higher temperature cooking}, you could use ghee or avocado oil for a nice replacement that holds up at high heats!
- 5oz PRE Brands grass-fed beef tenderloin
- 1 tbsp Nutiva red palm oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Place your meat in a clean bowl and rub down with your salt & pepper. Meanwhile, in a large pan, add your red palm oil on a medium-high flame. You want it to get nice and hot so your meat really sizzles! After about a minute or so, when your fire is hot enough, add your meat to the pan.
Cook on each side for about 3 mins, until there’s a nice brown crust on each side. Cook for a little longer {about 4 mins on each side} if you like your meat more well-done rather than rare. Remove from the pan onto a clean bowl, and allow it to sit for about 5 mins. Then cut against the grain and enjoy allllll the meat juices!
For the roasted baby potatoes + asparagus:
I roasted everything on one large baking tray to make things even easier! Hooray for less dishes!
- 1 lbs baby potatoes {I used a variety of colors, but any kind will do!}
- 12oz of thick asparagus spears, or about 20 thick spears {thinner asparagus may roasted for a shorter time and you make want to use a separate tray in this case}
- 2 tbsps melted ghee
- 1/2 tsp salt & pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Spread your baby potatoes & asparagus on a large baking tray. Coat with ghee + seasonings. Preheat your oven to 385F. I like to place the tray in the oven while it preheats, so the potatoes get nice and tender. Once the oven has come to 385F, roast for 25mins!
Note: if your asparagus is on the thinner side, you may want to roast it on a separate tray! Roast at 385F for 12-15 mins.
Serve and enjoy!
