Salt-Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Salt-Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipe). Lomo al trapo, I learned, is a Columbian method for cooking beef tenderloin where the meat is encased in salt, wrapped in a damp kitchen towel, and then set on top of hot coals. Figuring this might not work in the average kitchen, I came up with a method that didn't require the towel or hot coals.

Salt-Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipe

1 clove garlic

crushed

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1 egg white

1 (2 pound) center-cut beef tenderloin roast

trimmed

3 cups coarse-ground sea salt

or as needed

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place crushed garlic pepper and egg white in a small mixing bowl; whisk together until well mixed. Brush over entire surface of beef tenderloin.

Step 2

Cover baking dish with about 1/4 inch coarse salt. Roll tenderloin over the salt to coat thoroughly. Add more salt if needed to ensure the baking dish has an even layer of salt. Let roast sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step 4

Place baking dish in preheated oven. Roast to your desired doneness or until internal temperature reaches 116 degrees F 20 to 25 minutes. Beef will continue cooking after removal from oven and needs to reach 125 to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Let rest 15 minutes. Crack and remove the salt crust. Transfer roast to a cutting board; slice and serve.
