Herbed and Spiced Roasted Beef Tenderloin image

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.)

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out delicious. I used a different blend of herbs and spices and I cooked the beef for a little longer.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef turned out dry and overcooked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
