Original recipe yields 1 beef tenderloin roast

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Pour in the oil, and heat until smoking. Sear the tenderloin roast in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to the roasting pan when done. While the roast is searing, place the garlic, mustard, avocado, and steak seasoning into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Coat the seared roast all over with the avocado mixture.
Roast in preheated oven until the tenderloin has reached your desired degree of doneness, about 40 minutes for medium.

"This was very easy! We used only 1/2 tenderloin and halfed the recipe. Then the "rub" we used half and left the rest fresh for dipping after the meat was cooked. Also cut the cooking time down to 35mi..." See moren. It was wonderful! Unusual to cook the Avocado but tasty never-the-less. This is worth a try if you are looking for an EASY new way to do a tenderloin! (We also used 1/4 of Santa Barbara sauce in place of the 1/4 steak seasoning. Santa B. sauce is a cross between salsa and steak sauce. This seems like a negotiable part of recipe) "

"Loved this recipe! I used Worcestershire sauce since I didn't know what "steak seasoning" was but the "bite" of the Dijon mixed with the coolness of the avocado made a wonderful complement to the ten..." See morederloin. And so easy!"
