Servings: 10 Prep Time: 30 minutes plus 8 hours to marinate Cook Time: 45 minutes This beef tenderloin, stuffed with mushrooms and blue cheese, is more for company than a weekday family supper, but it's easy and elegant. |
• 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup(s) green onion(s), chopped
• 1/4 cup(s) butter, with salt
• 1/4 cup(s) parsley (fresh), chopped
• 6 lb beef roast tenderloin
• 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
• 8 oz red wine vinegar and oil salad dressing
|  | 1. Saute mushrooms and green onions in butter in large skillet until tender. Drain, stir in parsley and set aside.

3. Place meat in large shallow dish and pour dressing over it. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, basting occasionally.
4. Remove meat from marinade. Press crushed pepper onto each side. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes or until done. |
