Instructions
Soak the porcini in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Rub the porcini in the soaking liquid to remove any grit; pat dry and coarsely chop.
Transfer the porcini to a mini food processor and puree.
Melt the butter in a medium skillet.
Add the shallots and cook over moderately low heat until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the scallions and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Stir in the porcini puree. Season with salt and pepper.
Season the roast with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Sear the roast over moderately high heat until browned all over; let cool.
On a work suface, slightly overlap 3 16-inch pieces of wax paper. Arrange the pancetta on the paper in 4 overlapping rows to form a rectangle the length of the tenderloin.
Spread the porcini puree over the pancetta. Set the tenderloin on the bottom edge of the pancetta. Using the wax paper as a guide, tightly roll up the roast in the pancetta. Carefully peel off the wax paper. Tie the roast with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals.
Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil.
Roast the beef for 25 minutes, or until the pancetta is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 12
Cut off the strings and remove. Thickly slice the roast with a serrated knife and serve.
