Preparation
Step 1
Place beef on a rack set in an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 48 hours.
Remove beef from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 250°F.
Roast beef (keep on rack in pan) on center rack until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 125°F (for rare), 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, turning once.
Remove beef from oven. Adjust oven temperature to broil. Combine butter and oil in a small saucepan, and heat over medium until butter melts.
Brush beef with butter mixture. Broil until browned, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a carving board spread with Board Dressing, if desired (see below), and let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with Classic Horseradish Cream Sauce, if desired.
BOARD DRESSING:
Combine parsley, oregano,capers, garlic and salt on a carving board; chop to combine. Mound chopped herb mixture into a small pile. Using a fork, stir in olive oil and vinegar. Spread dressing over carving board to cover an area equal to the tenderloin length (about 18 inches).
