Beef Tenderloin with Smoked Paprika MayonnaiseQuentin Bacon

Lovers of beef and chorizo can have their steak and eat it, too: Here, a garlic, cumin, and smoked-paprika rub on rare roast beef has the alluring smoky meatiness you've always associated with the richly flavored sausage. The same seasonings, plus some drippings from the meat, transform ordinary store-bought mayonnaise into a simply spectacular accompaniment.

Cooks' note:

Smoked-paprika mayonnaise keeps, chilled, 2 weeks.
