Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 5 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed and butterflied
  • 2 lb duck rillette (or duck confit, shredded)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.3 cup Creole or whole-grain mustard
  • 1 cup cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Season the entire butterflied tenderloin with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Spread the duck rillette over the inside of the tenderloin, leaving about 1/2-inch around the edges.

  4. 4

    Gently roll the tenderloin up like a jelly roll. Using butcher's twine, tie several knots about 2 inches apart to secure the stuffing.

  5. 5

    In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. Sear the tenderloin for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and cool slightly.

  6. 6

    Rub the entire tenderloin with the Creole mustard. Roll in the cracked black pepper to form a complete crust.

  7. 7

    Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay the tenderloin on the pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes for medium-rare.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. With a carving knife, slice into fillets about 2 inches thick. Serve with the pan juices.
