ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN
Succulent beef tenderloin is the crème de la crème of meats, so developing its rich flavor and capturing its signature tender texture is the focal point of this simple yet precisely designed beef tenderloin recipe. How long do you cook beef tenderloin per pound? Our recipe calls for 40 to 50 minutes with a 2 1/2 lb tenderloin, but it's important that the thermometer reads at least 140°F before covering and letting it stand. Just remember to keep it simple, you don't need any flashy moves when you're working with a cut of beef that's this luxurious.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425°F.
- Turn small end of beef under about 6 inches. Tie turned-under portion of beef with string at about 1 1/2-inch intervals. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper, marjoram and salt. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of beef.
- Bake uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 140°F. Cover beef with tent of aluminum foil and let stand about 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°, and beef will be easier to carve.) Remove string from beef before carving.
