3/4-1 pound beef tenderloin,
whole
2 tablespoons herb butter salt and pepper
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Season tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in a skillet. Add the tenderloin and sear quickly
on all sides -- the crust should be a medium brown.
Transfer tenderloin to an oven-safe dish. Cook for about
20-25 minutes or until done to your specifications. Ideally, meat should be
about medium-rare.
