Tone down the salt - otherwise both the beef and mayonnaise sauce were very good.

Fabulous! This is my third time making this. The sauce compliments the meat so well, even my husband who typically doesn't like any sauce with his meat liked it. I will say this- make sure to get a good cut of beef as the second time I made this I tried a lessor cut to save money and it wasn't as good as the first when I got the pricer beef. Its definitely worth it!

RIDICULOUSLY EASY AND RESTAURANT WORTHY. This recipe is absolutely PERFECT. I cooked it for a couple that came over and we ate every morsel. The sauce was fantastic and we ended up putting it on the asparagus too. I'm always leery about cooking times, and I thought it would have taken a bit longer than this to cook, but WARNING: It really DOES only take 40 minutes and 20 in the foil. I did a 4 pound tenderloin and my timing as a bit off because I thought it would take longer. Now I know better!

This beef rub was excellent. I used it on a rib roast and everyone loved it. I also used it on swordfish steaks! Again, a favorite. I didn't try the mayo.

This was perfect for a fancier dinner party of food-loving friends I wanted to impress. I made it with Lucinda Scala Quinn's Caramelized roasted Cauliflower. A very easy dinner party for 5, plates were cleaned.

WARNING: before you commit to it, this is an EXPENSIVE recipe, beef tenderloin I bought at my store was $17.99 per pound, $14.99 on sale. This recipe requires 3.5 pounds, so you are spending close to $70 just on the meat.

Also, I had to call in advance for my butcher to cut this size tenderloin, call your supermarket meat section to verify they have the cut of meat in stock.

I have made this recipe countless times. When I first made it, I couldn't find a beef tenderloin anywhere. I live in a very small town. So, instead, I use a sirloin tip roast. I also only use about a 2.5lb one. I generally have to cook it a little longer as well. It turns out amazing every single time. The basil-curry mayo really sets it off perfectly. In fact, I have used this rub and mayo with steaks too (only not so much rub.

I made this for my birthday dinner. I used the rub and put it in a ziplock to marinate. Roasted it as instructed in a shallow pan on my grill! PERFECTO! The curry-basil sauce was a perfect complement. I have never had anything more perfectly seasoned! Giada is always right on the mark with her recipes.

I served this to company last night and EVERYONE raved over it! I followed the recipe to the letter. The sauce was fantastic and the beef was tender and juicy and cooked perfectly! I will make this again many times over!!

I did not make the tenderloin but made the basil-mayo curry. Oh my gosh, it is fabulous. We made crostinis. I did not have mascarpone cheese so I made it without it in the morning. It tasted great, maybe better. I added the mascarpone later and it was good too. The flavors are stronger without mascarpone and we liked it! We are thinking of making chicken satays or steak bites and having dip with it!
