Beef With Parmesan Potatoes

• 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 2 lbs beef tenderloin
• kosher salt and pepper
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 lbs medium Red Bliss potatoes
• 1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese

1. Heat oven to 400u0b0F
2. In a small bowl, combine the parsley and lemon zest; set aside.
3. Season the beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer to oven and roast, 18 to 20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 125u0b0 F). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a simmer. Add 1 teaspoon salt and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
7. Drain and divide among plates. Gently crush the potatoes with a spoon to crack the skins. Drizzle with the remaining oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the Parmesan.
8. Serve with the beef. Top with the parsley.
