How to cook a beef tenderloin?

If you are cooking the whole tenderloin, start by removing the connective tissue or “silver skin” to reveal the meat. Heat a large skillet on medium high with a tablespoon or two of vegetable or olive oil. Salt the surface of the tenderloin and sear in the skillet for a minute or two on each side. Pre-heat your oven to 300 degrees. Place the tenderloin after browning on a roasting pan. season the meat with pepper and any other spices that you would like. Rosemary or thyme are good choices. Place the tenderloin in the oven for 1.5-2 hours (depending on the weight) or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Then turn up the heat to 450 for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil and allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before cutting. The meat should be about medium rare to medium.
