When I was growing up, this was the meal that I requested for my birthday for a number of years.  I LOVED it!

Ingredients:

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons onion, mincded
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, snipped

Meat

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into thin slices

Preparation:

Cook and stir mushrooms, onion, garlic, salt, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce in 1/4 cup butter until mushrooms are tender.  Keep sauce on very low heat to keep warm.  Stir in parsley when ready to serve.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet; turning once, cook tenderloin slices over medium-high heat to medium doneness, about 3-4 minutes on each side.  Serve with mushroom sauce.  Enjoy!
