Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Gravy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 3 and 1/2 Pounds Beef Tenderloin
  • 4 Ounces Fresh Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Cup Red Wine
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 Cup Butter
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Salt

Instructions

Rub the salt and pepper over the tenderloin. Rub with the garlic. Place the meat on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees 30 minutes for rare, 45 minutes for medium and 1 hour for well done. Transfer to a heated platter, reserving the pan drippings. In a heavy frying pan, saute the mushrooms in the butter. Stir in the red wine and garlic salt. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the reserved pan drippings and stir well. Simmer just until heated through. Pour over the sliced tenderloin or serve separately.
