Easy & Elegant Tenderloin Roast image

I love the simplicity of this easy beef tenderloin recipe. Olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper-just add the tenderloin and pop it in the oven. In an hour or so you've got an impressive main dish to feed a crowd. This leaves you with more time to visit with family and less time fussing in the kitchen. -Mary Kandell, Huron, Ohio
