Ingredients:
1 (4- to 5-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed |
14 to 16 slices bacon |
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms |
3 tablespoons butter or margarine |
fresh parsley sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Turn narrow end under to make roast more uniformly thick. Wrap bacon slices around tenderloin to completely cover. Secure each slice with a wooden pick. Insert meat thermometer, if desired.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140° (rare).
3. Clean mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Remove stems and reserve for use in another recipe. Sauté mushroom caps in butter over low heat 5 minutes.
4. Cut tenderloin into 1-inchthick slices and arrange on a heated platter. Serve with sautéed mushrooms. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
