Help w/ Tenderloin Roast

[Cindy's Mom]

I have a 2.5 pound beef tenderloin I want to make for dinner and I can't find my darn meat themometer. How long do I cook if for for it to be medium well? And while we're at it, at what temp.

Personally I would either find the themometer, or borrow or buy a new one. I hate to over cook a tenderloin.

When I cook them, I sear all sides at a high temp, either on the grill or in a pan on the stove, and then bake at 325 till 120 and pull and let rest, this will give you medium rare, so if you like medium well, cook it to about 130 or so and then pull and let rest, it will go up about 15degrees after you pull it.

We and by that I mean me.....kinda like it on the well side [hides head in shame] I take the end cuts and DH gets the middles.

I've been out all morning and I'm too beat to go get by another one. Any guesstimates on the time?

The only recipe I could find in my box was a baked Pepper Beef Tenderloin. It says 400 degrees baking, uncovered, at 45-65 minutes or until desired meat temp.
If 45 minutes would get you a medium rare, and 65 a well done-I'd put it in for 50-55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
hth.
