Most of us think of an idol as a statue of wood, stone, or metal worshiped by pagan people. But the concept of idolatry is much broader and far more personal than that. An idol is anything apart from God that we depend on to be happy, fulfilled, or secure. In biblical terms, it is something other than God that we set our heart on that motivates us, that masters and rules us, or that we trust, fear, or serve. In short, it is something we love and pursue more than God.

Beef tenderloin

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400F. Trim the beef tenderloin of fat and skin. Cut the end
and wrap the meat with 4 thin slices of pork fat lenghwise. In a large
saute pan, heat the oil until very hot and saute the meat on all sides.
Season with salt and black pepper. Let the meat brown slightly. Place in
the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes for rare to medium. (20 minutes if beef
is hot 25 minutes if beef is room temperature. See note Remove from oven
and let rest at room temperature or in a lukewarm place for 15 minutes
before carving. This is important to allow the juices concentrated in the
center to permiate all around the meat. SPECIAL NOTE; you can sear this 2
to 3 hours ahead of the roasting time.
