Bring the water bath up to a temperature. This will take some time, so plan ahead.
Beef Temperature Guidelines.
Rare: 120°F / 49°C.
Medium Rare: 134°F / 56.5°C ( 2 hours cooking time)
Medium: 140°F / 60°C.
Medium Well: 150°F / 65.5°C.
Well Done: 160°F / 71°C
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 T olive oil to the bottom of a skillet.
Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel. Lightly brush the meat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Once the oil is heated (starts to ripple), place the meat in the skillet to lightly brown all sides and ends. Alternately, you can do this on a grill.
Roll back the edges of the bag to prevent cross contamination. Place the lightly browned tenderloin in a vacuum seal bag. Vacuum seal to remove all the air. The bag must be completely submerged to ensure uniform cooking.
Place in the preheated water bath. Cook to desired doneness, see chart listed above. *For medium rare, cook at 138°F for 2 hours.
If serving later the meat can remain in the preheated water bath ( up to 4 hours) until ready to serve as it will not cook it further.
Before serving: Mix 2 T of melted butter with 1/3 t salt. Heat up your skillet
Remove the tenderloin from the water bath. Discard any liquid from the bag.
Pat dry the meat and brush with the butter mixture. Quickly sear the meat immediately before serving. Alternately, this can be done on a grill.
The meat does not need to rest before slicing.
Slice and serve.
