Ingredients:

• Cooking Spray  1 spray(s)
• Garlic  8 clove(s), peeled (or to taste)
• Olive Oil  1 Tbsp
• Fresh Lemon Juice  1 tsp
• Table Salt  ¾ tsp
• Black Pepper  ¼ tsp
• Fresh Parsley  1½ Tbsp, finely minced
• Uncooked Trimmed Beef Tenderloin  2 pound(s), trimmed and tied (from butcher)
• French Bread  24 oz, cut into sixty-four 1/3-inch-thick slices

Instructions:

1. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray. Set pan on middle rack in oven and preheat to 425ºF.
2. In a small bowl, combine garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and parsley.
3. Mash into a fine paste using back of a wooden spoon. Set aside about 1/3 of garlic paste for use on the meat while the other 2/3 will be used for the toast.
4. Rinse beef and pat dry with paper towels. Rub about 1/3 of garlic paste on meat.
5. Place meat in preheated roasting pan. Cook about 22 minutes for medium rare or 24 minutes for medium.
6. Remove meat from oven and place onto a cutting board. Loosely cover meat with aluminum foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes (meat will continue to cook slightly).
7. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF.
8. Meanwhile, spread tops of bread slices with garlic paste. Place in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake until slightly toasted for about 5–7 minutes.
9. Remove strings from meat and slice against grain into 32 very thin pieces. Slice each piece in half to yield 64 total pieces.
10. Place a slice of meat on each garlic toast, garnish with black pepper and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving
