Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend. Add the beef tenderloins to the bowl, ensuring they are fully covered with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge to let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes, or up to a full day. (The tenderloins in the photos were marinated for 1 hour.)
After marinating, set your oven to preheat at 400°F (204°C).
Warm a medium cast iron skillet or any heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread it evenly across the surface. Using tongs, place the beef into the skillet to brown on one side. Turn them over to sear the opposite side, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side without disturbing them during the process.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 17 minutes. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts, as it will be extremely hot. Use an instant-read thermometer to verify that the thickest part of the tenderloin has reached an internal temperature of 160°F. Tent the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, during which time it will continue to cook to the ideal temperature of 165°F. After resting, check the temperature again to ensure it has reached 165°F.
Once the resting period is complete, carve the beef and serve with your choice of side dishes.

Notes

Ensure the turkey tenderloin is fully coated with marinade to enhance the flavor.
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the turkey’s internal temperature for ideal doneness.
Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes post-cooking to ensure a moist and tender result.
