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.
