Ingredients

  • One 3-pound center-cut tenderloin roast brought to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Flake salt, to finish       

Sauce:

  • 4 small bunches of scallions or ramps, trimmed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

1. For the tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Dry the tenderloin well with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet followed by the tenderloin. Cook, turning every 4 minutes, until the tenderloin is an even, deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reads 120 degrees F, or about 30 minutes for medium-rare. Remove to a platter to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

3. For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat.

4. Sprinkle the scallions with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Place on the hot grill and cook until wilted and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. (Place a pan lid on top of the scallions if they are not browning enough.) Remove the charred scallions to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add the charred scallions to a bowl along with the mustard, vinegar, remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.

5. Sprinkle the tenderloin with flake salt and serve with the scallion sauce.
