Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds beef tenderloin trimmed and tied
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Tenderloin: Allow the beef tenderloin to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Season: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the tenderloin, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  • Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Cook: Place the seasoned tenderloin in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 360°F (182°C) and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  • Rest: Remove the tenderloin from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve: Slice the tenderloin into desired portions and serve with your choice of sides.
