This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, but the beef tenderloin turned out great! It was so tender and flavorful. I think I'll try making it again with a simpler recipe next time.

I had some trouble finding beef tenderloin at my local grocery store, so I used strip steak instead. It still turned out great! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the Cajun seasoning was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again with beef ten

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the beef was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was delicious. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the beef tenderloin came out perfect. I used a slightly different Cajun seasoning blend than the one in the recipe, but it still turned out great. I served it with roasted vegetables and it was a delicious meal.
