Jerk-Spiced Beef Tenderloin

    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    3 1/2 tablespoons dried Jamaican jerk seasoning
    1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    4 small bay leaves, crumbled finely
    3 large garlic cloves, minced
    2 2 3/4- to 3-pound (thick-end) beef tenderloin roasts

Whisk first 5 ingredients in bowl. Pierce tenderloins all over with
fork. Place tenderloins in large resealable plastic bag; add marinade
and seal. Turn bag to distribute marinade evenly. Chill at least 8
hours and up to 1 day, turning bag occasionally.

Preheat oven to 400F. Remove beef from marinade; pat dry. Place on
rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast
until thermometer inserted into each tenderloin registers 125F for
medium-rare, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10
minutes. Cut beef crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
