Roasted Beef Tenderloin

The following produced the best beef we have ever had.

After trimming the tenderloin, sear it in olive oil. Place the tenderloin in a lightly oiled (olive oil) roasting pan. Pour oil from the searing pan over the tenderloin. Salt and pepper the beef then turn it over. Drizzle olive oil on the upturned surface and then salt and pepper it.

Roast tenderloin in 325 degree oven for 22 minutes per pound. Hand slice thin and enjoy!

Wallander

BBC and PBS have had three seasons of a mystery show, "Wallander". We have found the cinematography suberb, the plots intriguing, and the acting top-notch. Excellent TV show.
