Cow

I've written previously about pork
tenderloin being the best part of the pig.

tenderest and most flavorful kind, generally

You really don't need a recipe to cook good beef
tenderloin--just follow your instincts, using your favorite
preparation method as for any other kind of beef. One of the
simplest ways is to rub it with seasonings such as garlic
powder, salt and black pepper (the last being coarsely ground,
preferably). Put the beef and a tablespoon of cooking oil in a
pan on your stove top, browning the meat all over. Then put it
in the oven and roast it for about half an hour at 460 degrees
F or hotter, making sure to turn it occasionally.
Here's a more exact recipe if you
don't care to wing it:
Ingredients
4 medium-sized beef tenderloin steaks
4 tablespoons of coarsely ground black pepper
2 gloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place steaks in a roasting pan. Rub steaks with minced
garlic, salt and black pepper.
- Place roasting pan in oven and cook on one side for 4
minutes. Flip steaks. Cook for 4 minutes more, or to
desired state of doneness.
