Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare Ingredients and Preheat: Gather all ingredients and ensure the beef tenderloin is at room temperature. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Season the Tenderloin: Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels and place it on a clean plate. Drizzle the vegetable oil evenly over the meat, then sprinkle generously with oregano, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Massage the Spices: Thoroughly rub the spices and oil into the beef tenderloin, ensuring every surface is coated. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
22 mins

Air Fry to Perfection: Carefully place the seasoned tenderloin into the preheated air fryer basket. If necessary, gently fold the tenderloin to fit comfortably. Close the lid. (Cook time: 22 minutes)

05

Step
32 mins

Reduce Heat and Continue Cooking: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C) and cook for 22 minutes. Then, further reduce the heat to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. Insert the thermometer into the center of the tenderloin; it should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium doneness. (Cook time: 32 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Rest and Serve: Remove the cooked tenderloin from the air fryer and transfer it to a platter. Allow it to rest, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (Rest time: 10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the spice rub.
A high-smoke point oil like avocado or grapeseed oil will work best in the air fryer.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of high-quality olive oil for an authentic Italian touch.
Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your tenderloin and your desired level of doneness.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
