Wash the meat (the tenderloin or fillet), trim away any sinew, season with salt, and place it in a preheated skillet with oil. Sear it lightly on all sides.
Then transfer it to the oven and roast until done.
Every 10-15 minutes, baste it with its own juices.
The cooking time will depend on how you want your roast beef—well-done or medium-rare.
Once cooked, remove the roast beef from the skillet, slice it thinly, and arrange it on a serving platter.
For a side dish, you can serve boiled carrots sliced into rounds, green canned peas, or mashed potatoes.
