Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Toast cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Allow to cool before grinding.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground spices with minced ginger, garlic, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, and yogurt to create the marinade.
  3. Coat the beef tenderloin thoroughly with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat skillet or grill to high heat (around 450°F / 232°C).
  5. Sear the marinated beef on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden crust forms.
  6. Transfer beef to a preheated oven set at 400°F (204°C) and cook until internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  7. Let the beef rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  8. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin alongside basmati rice or fluffy naan.
