Beef tenderloin is studded with
garlic, topped with fresh
oregano,
basil, and
bacon strips, then roasted to perfection. This cut is very tender. Overcooking will ruin your investment, so medium-rare is recommended or certainly no more than medium. Tenderloin roast usually comes pre-trimmed. Mine was not, so it had an extra flap along the side. I did not bother removing it. The choice is yours. You may prepare the roast a day in advance, wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Bring the roast to room temperature before roasting. For a full visual of the steps, check out the
step-by-step instructions with photos.
