I'm planning on doing a 3 1/2 to 4 pound beef tenderloin roast for dinner tonight. Anything special anyone would recommend that I do to it? Thanks

    Gandolf,[p]Rub it with a good herb rub before you cook it. I used one for my prime rib and it was outstanding without wiping out the taste of the meat. Very easy, very yum.[p]CHRIS'S HERBED ROAST
    2 tablespoon(s) Basil, fresh
    2 tablespoon(s) Oregano, chopped
    2 tablespoon(s) Parsley, fresh, chopped
    2 tablespoon(s) Rosemary, fresh
    2 tablespoon(s) Garlic, crushed
    1 tablespoon Black pepper
    1 1/2 tablespoon(s) Salt
    4 tablespoon(s) Olive oil[p]Mix all ingredients into a paste and apply to roast. Let sit overnight.

    mollyshark,
    Perfect timing! I was just checking for responses. I have done the herb rub on prime rib a couple of times also and it was great. Gotta think it will do well on the tenderloin as well. Thanks

    Gandolf,
    If you have the smoke and spice cookbook; go to page 112, and look and the recipe for drunk and dirty tenderloin. This is great! I've done it twice and both times the results were fantastic. I also reccomend that you pair it with a Cabernet Sauvignon.
