PEPPERED BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Peppered Beef Tenderloin Roast image

A pepper rub gives this moist, tender beef a bit of a zippy taste. It takes just minutes to prepare, and the meat slices well. Lining the baking pan with foil makes it a breeze to clean up, too. -Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania
