Print: Beef Tenderloin Filets

This beef tenderloin filets recipe is simple, elegant, and delicious. It's a great recipe for very special occasions. I serve it with garlic mashed potatoes (or sometimes wild rice), green beans with cherry tomatoes (recipe on this site), green salad with sweet poppy seed dressing (my published recipe on this site), and homemade sweet dinner rolls (recipe on this site). Enjoy!
