Peppered Beef Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. salt-free seasoning blend
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 beef tenderloin (3 lb.)

Preparation

Combine seasonings and rub over entire tenderloin. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight for more intense flavor. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425\u00b0 until meat is cooked as desired. Allow approximately 45 - 50 minutes for rare or until a meat thermometer reads 140\u00b0, 55 - 60 minutes for medium-rare (150\u00b0), 62 - 65 minutes for medium (160\u00b0), and 67 - 70 minutes for well-done (170\u00b0). Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
