Cold Basil Beef Salad

Serves 6
 
Whole Beef Tenderloin
1/2 cup Ah love Basil Olive Oil
1/2 cup Ah love Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
Halen Mon Sea Salt
Ground Pepper
 
Sear the beef tenderloin in a hot pan on all sides until brown and crusty, about 3 minutes per side.  The beef will be rare.  If you prefer beef cooked more, put in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
 
Let cool for 10 minutes after searing (or oven roasting). While cooling, prepare the marinade by mixing remaining ingredients.

Thinly slice the cooled beef and place in a glass dish.  Pour over the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  
 
Place beef on a bed of greens and sliced boiled new potatoes, sea salt and ground pepper to taste.
