Air Fryer Perfectly Seasoned Beef Tenderloin
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components beforehand.
2
Preheat the air fryer to its maximum capacity, which is 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3
Take the tenderloin and gently pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, placing it on a clean plate afterwards.
4
Next, drizzle a generous amount of oil all over the meat to ensure it's well-coated.
5
Following that, sprinkle a blend of oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over the meat to add flavor.
6
Using your fingers or a spoon, gently massage the spices and oil into the meat to distribute them evenly.
7
Carefully place the tenderloin into the preheated air fryer basket, adjusting its position as necessary to fit snugly.
8
Once inside, close the air fryer lid to trap heat and facilitate cooking.
9
Reduce the temperature of the air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C) and cook for 22 minutes, then decrease the temperature further to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
10
To verify the doneness of the tenderloin, insert a food thermometer into its center and check if it reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), indicating medium doneness.
11
Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving platter.
12
Finally, let the tenderloin rest uncovered for at least 10 minutes before presenting it to your guests.
