Drunken Beef Tenderloin image

Last time I made this was for a very elegant "After-Rehearsal Dinner" for one of my favorite couples. It was hit of course. I served with "Garlic Mashed Chive Potatoes" and fresh steamed green beans. Of course we had a great salad and wonderful desserts to follow.

I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5 stars. The beef was tender and juicy, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would still recommend this recipe, but I would use less sugar next time.
