Roast Beef Tenderloin with Assorted Peppercorns
1 beef tenderloin (3-4 pounds), trim the fat
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons crushed black peppercorns
2 tablespoons crushed white peppercorns
2 tablespoons crushed green peppercorns
2 tablespoons pink pepper berries
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Assorted whole peppercorns, for garnish
Rinse the tenderloin under cold water and then pat dry. Combine salt and peppers in a small bowl. Rub and press the mixture into the beef. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large saute pan over high heat and heat the olive oil. Add the beef and brown well on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from pan to a well oiled rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Roast for about 30-35 minutes for medium rare. Remove to a cutting surface and let stand for about 15 minutes. Carve crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Garnish with peppercorns.

How different do the mixed peppercorns and berries taste compared to just black pepper?

I’ve actually got a large container of mixed peppercorns. Will that work as well? They seem to be pretty evenly distributed in the container. I don’t have the pepper berries in this mix, though. At least I don’t think I do. Anyway, this sounds delicious and the meat is definitely going on my upcoming grocery list!

Sure, that should work well!

Thanks! I’ll be trying this. I have mainly been using the peppercorns in my pepper mill so this will be a great way to try them in a recipe!

I love to use mixed peppercorns, they give extra flavour and make beautiful garnish as well. I buy them mixed already in a pepper mill and they are called Rainbow Peppercorns.
Enjoy your day, Margot
