How to make Beef Tenderloin with Smoked Paprika Mayonnaise

Preheat oven to 260°C with rack in middle.

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in paprika, cumin, oil, and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Pat tenderloin dry, then rub garlic mixture all over it. Roast in a roasting pan until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into centre of meat registers 49°C, 25 to 35 minutes for medium-rare.

Transfer to a platter along with any pan juices and cool, loosely covered with foil, 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Internal temperature will rise to about 54°C as it rests.)

Stir together mayonnaise, paprika, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Stir in meat juices and salt to taste

Cut meat into thick slices. Serve warm or at room temperature, with smoked-paprika mayonnaise.
