METHOD
Why It Works
Searing before roasting builds a golden crust and locks in the juices. A garlic-herb rub seasons the lean tenderloin all the way through.
Quick Fixes
Tenderloin dry: pull at 145°F and rest before slicing.
Uneven cooking: tuck the thin end under for even thickness.

Avo's Tip
Rest the tenderloin 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.
