  Trim the tenderloin. First, remove the chain that runs the length of the tenderloin by gently pulling it back with your hands and trimming it with a sharp knife if necessary. Continue to trim any excess fat and silverskin from the beef.

  Ingredients

  • 1  (4 lb) whole beef tenderloin, room temperature

  Truss the tenderloin: Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin underneath itself and tie the roast every 2 inches with kitchen twine. This will help the tenderloin hold its shape. Coat all over with the olive oil.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
