Peppered Beef Tenderloin Roast
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing
YIELD: 12 servings.
A pepper rub gives this moist, tender beef a bit of a zippy taste. It takes just minutes to prepare, and the meat slices well. Lining the baking pan with foil makes it a breeze to clean up, too. —Denise Bitner, Reedsville, Pennsylvania
