Beef Tenderloin
- 2 1/2 lb. center-cut beef tenderloin tied by your butcher
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- Horseradish Cream (optional)

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a roasting pan, rub beef tenderloin with oil.
- Generously season with at least 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper.
- Roast, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 to 135 degrees F for rare, 135 to 140 degrees F for medium, and 150 degrees F for well done, 30 to 45 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
- Remove from oven; cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 minutes.
- Remove twine; thinly slice beef.
- Serve with horseradish cream and bearnaise sauce, as desired.
