🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin (center-cut, tied)
Crust
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
Finish
  • 2 tbsp butter (for finishing)
📝 Instructions
  1. Remove tenderloin from fridge 45 minutes before cooking. Pat completely dry. Shared 💡 A cold center will not cook evenly. Room temp is crucial for even doneness.
  2. Tie the tenderloin with kitchen twine every 2 inches for even shape. Shared 💡 Tying creates a uniform cylinder — no thin end overcooking while the thick end is raw.
  3. Mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper into a paste. Rub all over the tenderloin. Shared 💡 Really massage the herb paste into every surface of the meat.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Roast at 400°F for 5 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Air Roast circulates heat for an even crust without the intense blast of Air Fry.
  5. Place tenderloin in the pan. Roast at 400°F for 12 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Do not open the door during this time — you want the crust to develop.
  6. Check internal temp. For medium-rare (130°F), roast 5-8 more minutes. For medium (140°F), roast 8-10 more minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Temperature rises fast at the end — check every 2 minutes after the initial 12.
  7. Top with butter, tent with foil, and rest 10 full minutes before slicing. Shared 💡 Ten minutes of rest is not optional. Cutting early loses all the precious juices.
💡 Ninja Tips

Tenderloin is lean — overcooking ruins it. Pull at 125°F for medium-rare (carryover to 130-135°F). A probe thermometer left in during cooking is ideal for precision. Tie the thin tail end under for uniform thickness.

Scaling: To double: cook a larger 2-3 lb tenderloin, add 5-8 minutes total. To halve: use a 12 oz tenderloin steak, reduce total time to 12-14 minutes.
