We save this one for special occasions. Beef tenderloin is delicious, but expensive (and well worth it, too). The meat in this recipe is medium, if you like it a little more done than that - cook 25 more minutes and you should have well done, but still juicy.
BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
1 whole beef tenderloin (3-4 lb.), trimmed
4 strips bacon, divided
Place whole tenderloin on broiler pan and cover with 2 strips of bacon. Broil 7 minutes on one side. Turn to the other side, cover with remaining bacon and broil 7 more minutes.
Place meat in shallow glass dish and pour mushroom sauce over meat (see sauce recipe). Refrigerate several hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Remove meat from refrigerator about 20 minutes before final baking. Drain sauce from meat, reserve in saucepan. Cover meat with foil and bake at 450 degrees for 40 minutes (meat will be medium). Warm Mushroom Sauce. Slice meat and serve with heated sauce. Makes 8-10 servings.
