Ingredients

  • 4 beef tenderloin steaks (1-1/2 inches thick and 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 3/4 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Rub pepper onto both sides of steaks. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in butter for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in the broth, wine and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Serve with steaks.
