Kosher Beef Tenderloin
The Backstory: Most of the meals I prepare are basic family dinners. But when I really want to “put on the dogs” (old fashion saying) for guests, I make several different main course meat dishes. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
Beef Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. Kosher Beef tenderloin

…The Backstory continues: For the beef lovers out there, here is one of the fanciest dished I make. This Beef Tenderloin is made for special occasions and I will only serve it to beef-eating lovers. Keep the PC food critics out of my kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so easy, and yet when this Beef Tenderloin is sliced and served with your favorite sides, it will seem to guests that you spent hours slaving away in the kitchen. I like to accompany this with rosemary roasted potatoes and green beans with slivered almonds. I do not know were I got this recipe from. I have several ones like this and I combined a little bit from each recipe to create this one. When I serve this Beef Tenderloin, I really “put on the dogs”. Out comes the company China, best siverware, top of the line serving pieces. Of course flowers as a centerpiece and a great wine to complete the staging. Now is the time to bring out the star of the meal. My perfectly cooked Beef Tenderloin. I hope you will try this and enjoy it as much as everyone who I served this to has. Gosh, I’m getting hungry thinking about this. Time to invite beef lovers to dinner. Enjoy
