Beef Tenderloin

The best roast beef tenderloin!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 beef tenderloin (trimmed, about 5-6 lbs)
• neutral oil
• salt
• 1/2 cup peppercorns (crushed)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season with salt. Soak some butcher string in oil then tie the tenderloin every 1 inch or so, being sure to tuck in the tails so that the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout.
2. 2Rub the tenderloin with oil and coat in crushed peppercorns. Heat the oven to 475°F.
3. 3Place the tenderloin on an oiled roasting rack over a rimmed baking sheet and insert a meat probe set for your desired doneness. When the oven is hot, place the tenderloin in the oven and roast at 475°for 20 minutes.
4. 4Turn the heat down to 200°F and roast until the center is 120°-125°F for rare to medium rare, about 2-2.5 hours, depending on size.
5. 5Once the meat reaches your desired temperature, remove from the oven, tent with foil and let rest for minimum 10 minutes. Slice into 1 inch pieces, arrange on a platter, and enjoy.
