3. Gently roll the tenderloin up, like a jelly roll.

8. Remove from the pan and set aide.
9. After the fillet has cooled, rub the entire tenderloin with the mustard.

12. Lay the tenderloin on the pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes for medium rare.
13. Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
