1ES 1101-232 is a bright BL Lac of the High frequency peak class. We present here the results of two BeppoSAX observations in which the source has shown a variation of about 30% in flux with a corresponding spectral variability. We interpret the overall spectral energy distribution in terms of an homogeneous SSC model and, by using also the TeV upper limit from a short Mark 6 pointing, derive constraints on the physical parameters of the source, in particular on the magnetic field strength. The overall Spectral Energy Distribution makes 1ES 1101-232 a very promising candidate for TeV detection.
