Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Pat tenderloin dry. Season generously with salt and pepper, then rub with olive oil.
- 2
Mix Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, and onion powder into a paste. Spread evenly over the tenderloin.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- 4
Rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions. Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple pan sauce.
Tip: Don't skip the 5-minute rest — it lets the juices redistribute so every slice stays moist. Pull at 140°F if you like slightly pink centers; carryover heat will bring it to 145°F.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 25 minutes vs ~45 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
