Roasted Beef Tenderloin

Beef Tenderloin

SUCCULENT BEEF

This succulent roasted beef tenderloin is a treat for any special occasion. It’s a very expensive cut of meat but because it’s so tender and juicy it’s worth every penny.

Your family and friends will love the way it melts in there mouth. The whole trick to making this marvelous meat is to make a great crust. Since this a very lean cut of meat a lot of flavor comes from the outside crust. It’s just so good.

I prefer this dish with a Portobello and porcini mushrooms sauce. It just adds to an already great dish. During Christmas I’ll serve sautéed green and red pepper with the roast. It tastes great and makes for a nice looking holiday presentation.

There is a variety of ways you can prepare the meat before roasting. I like to rub the meat with dried herbs and seasonings or encrusted with freshly ground black peppercorns, while some people prefer simply salt and pepper. Anyway you decide I hope you enjoy this fabulous roasted beef tenderloin with Portobello and porcini sauce recipe.
