South Beach Diet - Pepper Crusted Tenderloin of Beef image

The secret behind The South Beach Diet is the perfect blend of palette-pleasing foods and healthy ingredients. This was served to me in one Miami's, South Beach restaurants and it was just wonderful! It was really delightful and is easy to prepare! It is fabulous served cold - I brought some home and had it cold the next day and am hard pressed to tell you which way is the better.
