Roast Beef Tenderloin With Caesar Crust
- 4 lbs beef tenderloin, fat and silverskin trimmed
- kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, plus
- more fresh ground black pepper, for seasoning
- 2/3 cup fine fresh breadcrumb, made from day-old white bread (about 1 slice)
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 4 anchovies packed in oil, drained, finely chopped
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Season tenderloin lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate overnight.
- Uncover tenderloin; let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F Set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer tenderloin to rack. Pulse 4 teaspoons black pepper and remaining ingredients in a small food processor until well blended. Generously and evenly spread and pack Parmesan mixture around tenderloin.
- Roast until crust is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 110u0b0F-115u0b0F for rare and 120u0b0F-125u0b0F for medium-rare, 30-40 minutes.
- Transfer to a carving board. Let rest for 20 minutes. Cut into 1/2"-thick slices, taking care not to lose too much of the delicate crust.
