I bought a beautiful piece of eye-fillet for a treat tonight, went looking for a quick recipe for it and found this. The combination of excellent meat and this tasty rub made for a really yummy dinner. Cooked rare, served with parmesan leeks, asparagus and jacket potatoes, it was fantastic. -
Beef tenderloin was on sale today at my local store. I knew ahead of time,so looked for recipes. This is wonderful - never thought to cook beef tenderloin on a rack in a roasting pan. I got a very nice chunk that was about 2 and 2/3 pounds, had all the ingredients in my cabinet, and we all ate like pigs. None left! Made twice-baked potatoes, and a veggie on the side. This is a keeper, and very easy, and a very tasty, peppery, delight! Thank you! -
Used this for our New Year's Day dinner, on a really lovely 1 3/4 lb beef tenderloin. We roasted it for about 20 minutes to get extremely rare meat; it could've gone another 5 and still been sublime. The rub resulted in a spicy, perfectly seasoned roast. I didn't change a thing, and won't in the future. It's totally perfect as is - delicious and memorable. Thanks, Inez, for a spectacular recipe! -
This was highly recommended to me by MEP awhile ago. Now I wish I hadn't waited so long to fix it. The flavor was marvelous, but a tad salty so I believe I will cut down on the salt the next time I prepare this. I baked it for 60 minutes to a perfect medium rare. It was an absolute delight! -
Absolutely delicious! I've made this recipe 4 times now, and each time I receive outstanding compliments. The only change I made, after the first go around, was to reduce the thyme measurment a bit. It's not one of my favorite seasonings and I thought it a bit over powering. Super! Thanks MizzNezz!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
