This elegant, simple preparation for beef tenderloin is a classic. To serve a larger crowd, simply double the oil-herb rub and roast an entire beef tenderloin (3 1/2 to 4 lbs.), cut crosswise into two pieces. Use this same method to roast a whole pork loin, too. For the juiciest, most tender results, roast pork until it reaches 160°F. This recipe is free of gluten, dairy and soy.
