Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce
Beef Tenderloin recipe adapted from Taste of Home Magazine Feb/Mar 1998 (Retro Recipe!!)The original recipe is pretty high in Saturated Fat because of all the butter. I have made this recipe many times with a buttery spread like Earth Balance® with great results. Also, the steaks in original recipe call for 1-inch think, but I always buy the petite sirloins that are about ½-inch thick. Good side dish choices are simple smashed potatoes and braised asparagus.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Buttery Spread such as Earth Balance®Organic
- 1 pound Beef Sirloin cut into 4 servings
- 8 ounces Mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons Shallots sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour

Meat Thermometer Readings: Medium Rare - 135°F or Medium - 140°F
