Beef tenderloin in the oven

Description

The recipe won't take much time. The outside develops a golden crust, while the inside remains tender and juicy. You can cook the meat to medium-rare if you prefer it with a hint of pink, or cook it thoroughly. Don't rush to slice the meat immediately after cooking—cover it with foil and let it rest undisturbed for 20–30 minutes, then slice into pieces before serving. Serve hot.
