Coriander Cured Beef

Haven't tried this yet but it sounds like a good idea.
Cure and Beef
4tablespoons coriander seeds
4tablespoons black peppercorns
4shallots, peeled and minced
4garlic cloves, peeled and minced
¾cup kosher salt
6tablespoons dark brown sugar
2tablespoons olive oil
2beef tenderloins, boned and trimmed (8–10 ounces each)
.

Beef/
To prepare the cure and beef, preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer coriander, peppercorns, shallots, garlic, salt and sugar to a large container and add the beef loins to cure for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until lightly smoking. Remove the beef from the cure and scrape clean. Sear on all sides in the skillet. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish and cook in the oven for about 5 minutes until medium rare. When the beef is done, remove from the oven and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

Slice the loin and serve with the potato cakes and the Cranberry Mojo.
