Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin center cut is best
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature, divided use
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Take the beef tenderloin out of the refrigerator about 45 minutes to 1 hour before roasting to bring it to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of butter on the roast and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast on a rack on top of a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes per pound for rare, or about 30 to 35 minutes per pound for medium rare, checking the internal temperature with a thermometer. When the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the roast in the skillet and sear all sides until it is evenly browned.
- Remove the roast from the skillet and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
