This was just "okay", perhaps a bit too much effort for the end result. (I'd actually prefer to DRINK the Cabernet than make a sauce out of it.)

This was fantastic! The sauce is to die for. There were only two things that I did differently: I let the olive oil, lemon juice and herbs soak into the meat for 24 hours and I added sliced portabella mushrooms to the sauce. Absolutely incredible

Cooked a 4 lb. version in a roasting pan on the grill for a last minute Christmas brunch addition. Served with small buns to make mini sandwiches. Every bite was gone! I didn't take the time to make the sauce. I just served it with creamy horseradish. Awesome!!!!

This marinade was absolutely delicious, so was the sauce. I made some changes though. I did not roast the meat. I coated it with the oil, herbs, and stuffed it with garlic and let it marinate about 30min. then I cut a couple small pieces off and set aside for the sauce. I then grilled the meat. The meat pieces and the extra marinade I put in the pot in place of the meat drippings and then added the other sauce ingredients and extra herbs. It was absolutely to die for. My husband said it was so good he's not sure why we bother going out to eat haha

Effectively, an expensive cut of meat from a specialty market was boiled and turned out very chewy. The sauce is the only thing that prevented me from throwing it out.

Very good classic taste. I love the herb/wine taste, it's like the old Italian recipes...

This was very tasty and easy to prepare. I couldn't find beef tenderloin so I used thick cut T-bones instead. I trimmed the meat from the bone, spread chopped garlic over the steaks instead of stuffing with bits. The sauce was very good with oven roasted potatoes (recipe found here on allrecipes.com ). I will definitely make this dish again. My husband and teenaged son both gave it a thumbs up.

Very good recipe. Served with garlic mashed potatoes. I used more than a "pinch" of the spices.

Fablous and really easy! I adjusted this recipe to make a whole beef tenderloin for a dinner party of 12. Even tripling the recipe was still very easy to put this on the table. Served with boiled new red potatoes with garlic, caesar salad, burgandy wine and chocolate lava cakes for desert.
