Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Gravy
Source of Recipe
Aunt Saunny
1 whole beef tenderloin roast (about 4 pounds), trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Mushroom Gravy
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
12 ounces white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced thin
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
leaves, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish (optional)
Heat the oven to 500° F. Rub the beef with the oil and sprinkle with
the pepper. Place diagonally on a 15-1/2 x 10-1/2-inch jelly roll
pan, tucking the thin end under for even cooking.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into
the center of the thickest part registers 135 degrees F. for rare.
Meanwhile, make the gravy. In a large skillet, heat the oil over
medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 to 4 minutes, or
until a dark golden color.
Slowly whisk in the broth and wine, then the mushrooms, rosemary,
salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 15
minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove the meat from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let stand
for about 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 140° F.
The meat will continue cooking and the slicing will be easier.
Slice 1/4-inch thick and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with
rosemary sprigs and serve with the mushroom gravy.
YIELD: 12 Servings
