Personal Notes:
I made this meal for Cristi on July 6th using a 3lb tenderloin. When she took her first bite she said, "Oh now that is good" which is good news given I used fennel and she isn't a big fan of it. The spices worked well together. The ends might be a bit salty, depending on how much rub is used.
