HERBED AND SPICED ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN
Here's a special-occasion roast enhanced with classic seasonings. Roasting two large ends of tenderloin instead of one whole piece ensures even cooking. (The meat needs to be coated with its aromatic rub, then chilled for at least six hours before roasting.)

BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH CREOLE SPICE RUB
This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. It is also good on chicken breasts, shrimp, or pork tenderloin. I make the rub and cover the steaks with it before I stick them in the freezer for a make-ahead meal. When they are thawed they are ready to go straight to the grill.

Steps:
- Combine rub ingredients. Rub evenly over steaks.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Tips:
- For a more flavorful steak, marinate the tenderloins in the Creole spice rub for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure even cooking, bring the steaks to room temperature before grilling.
- Sear the steaks over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side to create a nice crust.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling the steaks for 8-10 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for a more well-done steak.
- Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
These beef tenderloin steaks with Creole spice rub are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The steaks are juicy and tender, and the spice rub gives them a flavorful crust. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
