Ingredients

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin with fat trimmed off (4-5 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Let tenderloin sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  2. Approximately 30 minutes before cooking, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  3. Put tenderloin in a roasting pan. Oil all sides of the beef with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. For medium rare, the beef’s internal temperature will be about 130 degrees.
  5. Let tenderloin rest about 20 minutes before cutting to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
