Pepper-Crusted Beef Tenderloin image

A coffee-enhanced rub lends robust flavor to juicy beef tenderloin. I often prepare this recipe for my family around the holidays instead of the traditional turkey or ham. The rich mashed potato stuffing adds an extra-special touch.-Rebecca Anderson, Austin, Texas

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
