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.
Set oven to "keep warm" setting or 200°FIn large nonstick skillet, preheat pan for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning only once. Remove steaks to cookie sheet and put in oven to keep warm. Note: steak temperature will continue to rise as they are resting in the oven. Meat Thermometer Readings: Medium Rare - 135°F or Medium - 140°F
To pan juices, add butter, mushrooms, onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper and blend into pan. Gradually add beef broth whisking until smooth. Add browning sauce and bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 2 minutes.
Plate and Serve
Remove steaks from oven and serve with mushroom gravy spooned on top.
