Beef Tenderloin

By margiekyle

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Place the beef tenderloin on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Rub the oil and seasoning evenly over the meat.

Roast the tenderloin until an internal thermometer reads 125 to 130 degrees F for rare to medium rare, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent with aluminum foil and let rest until it reaches room temperature, at least 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
