Step 3
Truss the tenderloin: Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin underneath itself and tie the roast every 2 inches with kitchen twine. This will help the tenderloin hold its shape. Coat all over with the olive oil.
2 Tablespoon olive oil

Make the espresso and coriander rub: In a small bowl, combine the espresso, brown sugar, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, blcak pepper, lemon zest, and chives and mix well.

Rub the spice mixture all over the tenderloin, coating every nook and cranny.
