    Source of Recipe

    Fine Cooking 96 , pp. 64 December 1, 2010

    Recipe Introduction

    Roasting the beef at a low temperature cooks the meat slowly and evenly and gives you time to finish preparing the other dishes.Serves 8

    List of Ingredients

    2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
    2 tsp. coarsely chopped fresh thyme
    2 tsp. minced garlic
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    4-lb. beef tenderloin roast, preferably from the thicker end, trimmed of silver skin and chain

    Recipe

    Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 250°F.

    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, thyme, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and several generous grinds of black pepper. Put the tenderloin on a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet or in a small roasting pan and rub the oil mixture all over it. Let sit unrefrigerated for 1 1/2 hours.

    Roast the tenderloin until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 130°F for medium rare, about 1 hour. Transfer to a carving board, tent with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.

    Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.

    You can season the tenderloin up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerate.
