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.

Follow The Directions
01

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)

Step

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)

Step

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)

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)
