Mushroom-Blue Cheese Tenderloin

Really good - even if you're not really a mushroom person. The marinade is very strong.

Recipe: Taste of Home

1-1/2 cups soy sauce
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 beef tenderloin roast (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef broth, undiluted

SAUCE:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
4 green onions, chopped

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Add the beef; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Drain and discard marinade. Rub the beef with garlic and pepper; place in a shallow roasting pan. Add broth to the pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 45-55 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Add mushrooms and garlic; saute until tender. Add the cheese, Worcestershire sauce and caraway seeds; cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Stir in onions; heat through. Serve sauce with beef. Yield: 10 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).
