    This is the first time that I used chocolate in a rub, it was yummy!(Culinary term. I also used cheyenne pepper instead of the peppercorns and this gave it heat at the back of the throat. The tenderloin stayed very moist as well. Finally, I made a pan sauce with port wine, chicken stock,onions, shallots, some of the rub, butter, flour and S and P. This too turned out as a fabulous sauce.

    This smells great while searing and baking, is really tender. We will use a lot less of the pepper the next time. Was very easy to fix. I probably will not fix this again, as it wasn't a huge hit, but another family might really like this.

    I just wanted something different for dinner and this was definately it! Instead of tenderloin I used boneless chops, yum! I didn't have an issue with the salt, but I also quartered the recipe. My boyfriend liked it as well, although he said it reminded him of honey nut cheerios.

    After reading all the wonderful reviews, I just had to make this recipe for myself. I made it for a mother's day dinner & changed it up just a tad. I didn't have whole white pepercorns or coriander so I used ground & skiped the toasting part in the recipe. I also use a cherry & cracked pepercorn port wine sauce to jazz up the meat. It was absolutely incredible!!!!! I recommend this recipe for anyone looking for something completely different. Very easy & delicious!

    Great flavor. Even the leftovers make a super lunch the next day. Very tender too.

    Delicious and moist. Too salty for my taste, however. I would reduce the salt by at least half (2 T in the future. A favorite with my teens.

    I was a little skeptical when I first saw Michael make this, but decided to try it for something new. It was so fantastic, I have now had a dinner party using this so everyone could try it!
