    Beef Tenderloin Deluxe

    Source of Recipe


    Posted by Schmitty at Mimi's


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 whole beef tenderloin, approximately 3 lbs.
    • 4 Tbsp. butter, softened, divided
    • 1/2 c. onion, chopped
    • 4 Tbsp. soy sauce*
    • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
    • 1/8 tsp. pepper
    • 1 c. dry sherry


    Instructions


    1. Spread tenderloin with 2 Tbsp. softened butter. Put on rack in shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, in preheated 400° oven for 20 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, in 1 qt. saucepan, cook onions in 2 Tbsp. butter until tender. Add soy sauce, mustard, and pepper. Stir in sherry. Heat just to boiling and pour over tenderloin.

    3. Bake 20-25 minutes longer for rare beef. Use meat thermometer.

    4. Baste frequently with sauce. (If beef is thicker in the middle than the ends, slice 3 inches from each end to bake middle faster.) Serve sliced according to personal preference with sauce.



    Final Comments


    Schmitty's Notes: I tripled the sauce and added two packages of sliced fresh mushrooms. Also, I did not cut the meat; tied the thinner ends under the roast. Worked beautifully.

    My Notes: I used lower sodium soy sauce, and it was still pretty salty; I would suggest cutting the amount of soy sauce to 2 Tbsp.
