Roast Tenderloin of Beef.
As I have before stated, this is the best, and not the least economical cut for the table, there being no waste and scarcely any bone. Put in the dripping-pan, pour a cup of boiling water over it, and roast carefully, basting often with its own gravy. When nearly done, dredge with flour and baste once with butter. Do not let it once get dry while cooking. Allow about ten minutes per pound if you like it rare and juicy—that is, if your oven be of moderate heat. Pour the fat from the gravy, thicken what is left with browned flour, pepper, and salt, boil up, and put into a gravy-boat. Pass made mustard with it.
