SERVES

COOK TIME
45 Min

When we were growing up, we ate lots of beef at home. It was usually ground beef or less-expensive steak cuts. Boy, is this a nice change! Once you try this melt-in-your-mouth beef, there won't really be any need to think twice when somebody asks, "What's your beef?"

What You'll Need

  • 2 1/2 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
     
  2. Place tenderloin on a large rimmed cookie sheet that has been coated with cooking spray and set aside.
     
  3. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients and rub over meat.
     
  4. Cook 35 to 40 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness.
     

Notes

A whole tenderloin of beef will weigh between 4 and 7 pounds, but today many supermarkets are selling tenderloin in 2- to 3-pound pieces.
