Ingredients:

• 2 Vermeat Beef Tenderloin Filets (6oz each)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp beef tallow (substitute with butter, ghee, organic olive oil, or organic coconut oil)
• 1 tbsp butter (substitute with ghee, organic olive oil, or organic coconut oil)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions:

1. Season the beef tenderloin filets: Pat the beef tenderloin filets dry with paper towels, and generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and paprika. Let the filets rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Preheat the skillet: Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until smoking hot.
3. Sear the beef tenderloin: Add beef tallow (or your chosen fat) and butter to the skillet, letting it melt and combine. Carefully place the seasoned beef tenderloin filets into the skillet. Sear the filets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a beautiful crust and reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach around 125°F (52°C).
4. Let the filets rest: Once cooked, transfer the seared beef tenderloin filets to a warm plate and let them rest for about 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly.
5. Serve: Plate the skillet-seared grass-fed beef tenderloin filets and enjoy the enticing flavors of Vermont's local spices melding with Vermeat's top-quality beef. Savor the mouthwatering combination that celebrates Vermont's culinary heritage and the unparalleled quality of grass-fed beef!
