    Place the tenderloin in a large, heavy roasting pan. Rub with the olive oil and season lightly on all sides with the salt, pepper, and Essence. Place over medium-high heat and sear the meat on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Place in the oven and roast to desired temperature, about 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the roast from the oven and place on a cutting board. Loosely cover and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Remove the butcher’s twine and carve to desired thickness.
