Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rub salt all over tenderloin.

Roast, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 130 degrees. Remove meat from oven, cover meat with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before serving (temperature of meat will rise to 140 degrees during standing).

  5. Prepare Blue Cheese Butter: Combine butter, blue cheese, and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
