Total Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 lbs cut beef tenderloin
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450°.
• 2 trim silverskin and fat from tenderloin; wash it and dry well with paper towels. truss the meat with cotton string at every inch to create a round profile. heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
• 3 rub meat with olive oil. then salt and pepper just before searing to prevent juices from leeching. this promotes maximum browning.
• 4 sear on all sides until browned, about three rotations, 1 minute each. roast in oven 20 - 30 minutes, turning tenderloin over halfway through cooking for even browning. when temperature reads 130° (medium-rare), remove from oven. cover the roast with aluminum foil and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into 1 1/2" slices.
