\n2\t<\/span>tablespoons PICS unsalted butter<\/strong>
\n1\t<\/span>tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
\n1\t<\/span>package (9 ounces) Full Circle baby spinach leaves<\/strong> (about\u00a08\u00a0cups)
\n1\/2<\/span>(8-ounce) package PICS cream cheese<\/strong>, cut into small pieces
\n3\/4<\/span>cup PICS Italian style breadcrumbs<\/strong>
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon lemon juice
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon PICS salt<\/strong>, divided
\n3\/4<\/span>teaspoon PICS ground black pepper<\/strong>
\n1\t<\/span>center-cut beef tenderloin (about 3-1\/2 pounds)
\n1-1\/2<\/span>tablespoons PICS extra virgin olive oil<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook 4\u00a0to 5\u00a0minutes or until crisp, stirring frequently. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to bowl. To same skillet with drippings, add onion; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until onion begins to soften, stirring frequently. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add butter and tarragon; cook 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir in spinach and bacon; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Remove skillet from heat; stir in cream cheese, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, 1\/4\u00a0teaspoon salt and 1\/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer spinach mixture to shallow dish; refrigerate 30 minutes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Preheat oven to 375\u00b0. To butterfly beef, cut beef lengthwise down center, but do not cut all the way through, leaving 1\/2 inch uncut. Open beef and lay flat between plastic wrap on cutting board. With flat end of meat mallet, pound beef to flatten to 1\/2-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap; evenly spread spinach mixture over beef, leaving about 1-1\/2-inch border around edges. Starting at 1 side, roll up beef and filling to form a pinwheel. With kitchen string, tie beef crosswise at about 2-inch intervals. Tie beef lengthwise with second piece of string, threading through crosswise ties. Sprinkle beef with remaining 3\/4 teaspoon salt and 1\/2 teaspoon pepper.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and beef to skillet; sear beef 1 minute on each side or until outside is browned. Place beef on rimmed baking pan; roast 35 to 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135\u00b0 for medium-rare. Let beef stand 10 minutes before removing string and slicing.
