1 (1 1/2-lb.) beef tenderloin, trimmed |
1 teaspoon cracked pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
6 cups kosher salt |
1 cup cold water |
24 small rolls or buns, split and toasted |
chimichurri pesto |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Sprinkle beef with pepper. Cook in hot oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 5 minutes or until browned on all sides.
2. Stir together salt and 1 cup cold water. Spread half of salt mixture in a rectangle (slightly larger than beef) in a large roasting pan; top with beef. Pat remaining salt mixture over beef, covering completely.
3. Bake at 400° 45 to 50 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into center registers 145°. Tap crust with a spoon; remove crust. (Beef will keep cooking if crust remains on.)
