Beef Tenderloin w/ Millstone Dry Rub

From EVINS MILL

Cooking Time:

20 to 30 minutes

Yield:

8 to 10

Ingredients

  • 1 beef tenderloin trimmed of excess fat and silver skin
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup millstone dry rub

Directions

Season tenderloin generously w/ rub and allow to sit for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Sear at high heat on all sides.
Transfer to roasting pan w/ wire grate roasting rack.
Roast in 350F oven for 20-30 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.
20 - 30 minutes will achieve a medium rare to medium respectively.
As desired temperature is reached, remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Slice thin and serve!

Many factors determine how long it will take for the tenderloin to reach the desired temperature. I do suggest beginning to check your tenderloin after the first 20 minutes regardless of how done you may want it. You can always cook it a little longer but cannot undo an overcooked mistake. Using a probe meat thermometer will help. Rare is 120F and it goes up one temperature every 10 degrees. Medium rare is 130F, while medium is 140F. Keep in mind that meat will continue cooking once taken out of the oven. Usually temperature will rise another 5-10 degrees depending on size. A whole beef tenderloin will serve 8-10 people. Enjoy!
