Roast Beef Tenderloin With Caesar Crust image

From Bon Appétit December 2011 via epicurious.com. Lightly salting a center-cut tenderloin, a.k.a. chateaubriand, overnight allows the salt to penetrate this luxurious roast and keep it extra-flavorful and juicy. Prep time does not include overnight salting or the 2 hours required to bring the beef to room temperature. ETA: I made this for our Easter dinner and the crust is wonderful. For the breadcrumbs, I used Texas toast and 1 slice would generate enough breadcrumbs. I made the crust mixture in my min Prep food processor and it was definitely pushing the envelope on the volume. I started with a 5 pound tenderloin and there was plenty of crust. The tenderloin as quite thin on one end and quite thick on the other. I cooked it for 35 minutes and let it sit for 20 minutes. The thick end was very rare and the thin end was medium well.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs beef tenderloin, fat and silverskin trimmed
kosher salt
4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, plus
more fresh ground black pepper, for seasoning
2/3 cup fine fresh breadcrumb, made from day-old white bread (about 1 slice)
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
2/3 cup mayonnaise
4 anchovies packed in oil, drained, finely chopped
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Season tenderloin lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate overnight.
  • Uncover tenderloin; let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer tenderloin to rack. Pulse 4 teaspoons black pepper and remaining ingredients in a small food processor until well blended. Generously and evenly spread and pack Parmesan mixture around tenderloin.
  • Roast until crust is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 110°F-115°F for rare and 120°F-125°F for medium-rare, 30-40 minutes.
  • Transfer to a carving board. Let rest for 20 minutes. Cut into 1/2"-thick slices, taking care not to lose too much of the delicate crust.

I'm not a big fan of caesar dressing, but I thought the crust on this beef was really good.

The caesar crust was a bit too salty for my taste.

I found that the beef was a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.
