Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

4- to 4 1/2-lb beef tenderloin roast
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
2 tablespoons dry sherry, if desired
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed beef consommé
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon tomato paste (from 6-oz can)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Rub beef with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan, or place diagonally in 15x10x1-inch pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of thickest part of beef.
  • Bake uncovered 30 to 45 minutes or until thermometer reads 135°F. Cover beef loosely with tent of foil and let stand 15 to 20 minutes until thermometer reads 145°F (medium-rare doneness). (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F and beef will be easier to carve.)
  • Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and mushrooms in butter 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are completely tender and beginning to brown. Stir in sherry. In small bowl, mix cornstarch and water; stir cornstarch mixture into mushroom mixture. Stir in thyme, pepper and beef consommé; cook and stir about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in mustard and tomato paste until well blended. Heat just until hot. Spoon sauce over sliced beef.

I used my slow cooker to make this dish. It was so easy and convenient. I just threw everything in the pot in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

I got creative with the recipe and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to the mushroom sauce. It gave the dish a nice pop of color and flavor. My family loved it!

I made a few modifications to make this dish healthier. I used lean beef tenderloin and a low-fat mushroom sauce. It was still delicious and I felt good about eating it.

I was short on time, so I used a pre-made mushroom sauce. It still turned out great! The beef was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. Will definitely be making this again when I'm in a hurry.
