Ingredients

• 2-3 1/2 lbs. beef tenderloin
• 1 1/2 t salt
• 1/4 t pepper
• 1/4 lb bacon or salt pork (didn't use)

Place beef on rack in open roasting pan..

Sprinkle with salt, pepper; lay bacon or salt pork strips over meat..

Roast in moderate oven at 325.

Rare: 22 minutes per pound.

Because of lack of fat through this cut of meat, it is not advisable to roast to a well done stage.

Do not add water, do not cover, do not baste during roasting period.
