SPICE RUBBED BEEF TENDERLOIN YIELDS: 4-6 SERVINGS image

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients:
1 whole beef tenderloin (4 to 5 lbs)
4 tablespoons butter
Season salt (to taste)
Lemon pepper seasoning (to taste)
1/3 cup black peppercorns
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Directions: Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Trim the meat to remove the fat and the silvery cartilage underneath the meat. It doesn't have to be perfect, just remove as much as you can. (Or, have your friendly butcher do it for you.) Sprinkle the meat generously with seasoned salt, and use your fingers to massage it into the meat. Sprinkle lemon-pepper seasoning on top and again, rub in with your fingers. Place the peppercorns in a ziplock bag, and use a mallet or meat hammer to smash the peppercorns. .Heat some olive oil in a heavy skillet. When the oil is hot, place the tenderloin in the very hot pan to sear it. Throw a couple of tablespoons of butter into the skillet to give it a nice little butter injection before going in the oven. A minute or two later, when one side is starting to turn nice and brown, flip and repeat. Place the tenderloin on an oven pan with a rack. Sprinkle the pummeled peppercorns all over the meat. Press the pepper onto the surface of the meat. Put several tablespoons of butter all over the meat. Stick the long needle of the thermometer lengthwise into the meat. Place it in a 475-degree oven until the temperature reaches just under 140 degrees, about fifteen to twenty minutes. Stay near the oven and keep checking the meat thermometer to make sure it doesn't overcook. Let meat stand ten minutes or so before slicing, so the meat will have a chance to relax a bit.
