Beef Tenderloin with Persillade Relish

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."

27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."

28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:26-29

Can't even express how good this was!

Made a few changes but nothing major.

My inspiration came from the America's Test Kitchen recipe.

The relish is yummy!

EJ's Beef Tenderloin

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!" 

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.  - Psalm 116:4-5

First you must get a good cut of beef. I recommend Costco and get the one that's trimmed and ready to cook. It's pricey but worth every dime!!!

1 trimmed beef tenderloin 

Kosher salt

Coarse Cracked Black Pepper, I love Malabar from Costco

Herb butter

1 stick butter, softened 

1 T snipped Fresh chives

1 t Fresh Greek oregano

1 t Fresh Rosemary

1 t Roasted garlic, mashed

1 t Fresh Lemon Thyme

Add to butter and stir.

Place unopened tenderloin on counter 3 1/2 hours before cooking.

This allows meat temp to become even to allow for even cooking.

After 2 hours, open, rinse, place on a cutting board lined with parchment.

Using cotton kitchen twine, tie meat every 3 inches tucking under the end that's thin.

Being careful not to tie so tight that it digs into the meat.

Liberally salt and let sit 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Using a drizzle of olive oil, in a skillet, sear beef.

Let rest 15 minutes to allow for cooling.

Now cover the beef with the herb butter.

Sprinkle with coarse pepper.

Place on a rack so that the heat will be distributed evenly around all sides.

Cook until internal temp is 140 degrees.

Do not go over 140, it's a perfect!!!

Remove from oven, loosely foil and rest, in the rack for 15 minutes.

Remove to cutting board.

Snip strings and remove.

Be prepared for comments like "this is better than a restaurant", and "can I have the recipe?
