Beef Tenerloin

1 Beef Tenderloin, trimmed-about 5 lbs

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp. minced garlic

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 500F with oven rack in center position. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil. Let tenderloin stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Combine lemon juice, garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl.

Transfer beef to prepared pan. rub juice mixture over tenderloin and season with salt and black pepper.

Roast beef 30-40 minutes (depending on how you like it, rare, medium, well done - use a thermometer).

Remove beef from pan, tent with foil and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.

note: If you have leftovers you can easily put them in a Zip Lock bag and in the freezer for another time.
