Step 1
Pat the 1 lb beef tenderloin dry and season all over with 1 tsp salt.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Step 3
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the beef rests, slice the 4 radishes and 1 cucumber into thin rounds.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups lettuce, sliced radishes, cucumber, and 1/4 cup parsley.
Step 6
Whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon. Pour over the salad and toss to coat.
Step 7
Slice the rested beef thinly against the grain.
Step 8
Serve the beef over the salad, drizzling any juices from the cutting board on top.
