Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds (preferably brown)
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
4 green cardamom pods, crushed, reserving seeds and discarding pods
1 (1 1/2-inch) cinnamon stick, broken into small pieces
1 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 (2-pounds) trimmed and tied center-cut beef tenderloin roast, at room temperature 30 minutes
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Equipment: an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Toast spices with salt in a dry 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mustard seeds begin to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool completely, then grind in grinder.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat beef dry, then rub spice mixture all over it (including ends). Heat oil in same skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Brown beef on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
  • Transfer beef to a small roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of meat registers 120°F for medium-rare, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer beef to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 130°F).
  • Cut off string and slice beef. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe was a disaster. The beef was tough and the spice rub was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The spice rub is so flavorful and the meat always comes out perfectly cooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and my beef tenderloin turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The meat was cooked perfectly though and the flavors were great.

This beef tenderloin recipe is a keeper! The black pepper spice rub gives the meat a delicious flavor and the cooking method ensures that it's cooked to perfection. I served it with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes, and my family loved it.
