PERFECT FILET MIGNON
 
Whole beef tenderloin
Rub with oil (I like to use olive oil)
Coat with coarse ground black pepper

 
Place on rack in open pan, tucking thin end under
 
Place in pre-heated 425 oven for 45-60 minutes, or til meat thermometer inserted into heavy end reads up to rare temp. Turn oven off and remove and let meat 'rest' for 15 minutes before slicing into 1/2 inch slices.
 
I like to serve with the packets of Bearnaise' sauce and Peppercorn gravy so each has a choice
.
As it slices, there is the more 'done' and the more 'rare' end, some for everyone.

 
Expensive but worth watching pre-holiday specials as every bite is edible!
