Roast Beef Tenderloin with Caesar Crust - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 4-pound center-cut beef tenderloin, fat and silverskin trimmed
- Kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper plus more for seasoning
- 2/3 cup fine fresh breadcrumbs made from day-old white bread
- 2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 4 anchovy fillets packed in oil, drained, finely chopped
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Instructions
- Season tenderloin lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate overnight.
- Uncover tenderloin; let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 °F. Set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer tenderloin to rack. Pulse 4 teaspoons black pepper and remaining ingredients in a small food processor until well blended. Generously and evenly spread and pack Parmesan mixture around tenderloin.
- Roast until crust is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of tenderloin registers 110 °F-115 °F for rare and 120 °F-125 °F for medium-rare, 30-40 minutes.
- Transfer to a carving board. Let rest for 20 minutes. Cut into 1/2"-thick slices, taking care not to lose too much of the delicate crust.
