Roasted Beef Tenderloin
Serving size: 6
Calories per serving: 316
2 pounds center-cut beef tenderloin roast
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
optional: dijon or whole-grain mustard, cracked mixed peppercorn, or herbes d' provence
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add the butter and swirl to melt. Add the beef and sear until mahogany brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125 degrees F. for medium-rare, about 25 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board, tent it very loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Slice crosswise, arrange on a platter, and serve.
