This is my go-to meal for date night. This sounds complicated, but it is so easy. When you buy the beef tenderloin, ask your butcher to butterfly the beef tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of the other side. My butcher is great and never has a problem doing it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Danny's stuffed beef tenderloin recipe is delicious. The beef is stuffed with sauteed mushrooms and scallions. The veggies help the meat maintain its moisture while the seasonings infuse the meat. It adds just the right touch of flavor without overpowering the beef tenderloin's natural flavor. Whether you serve on date night or as the centerpiece of a holiday meal, prepare for many oohs and ahhs. The meat is so tender it almost melts in your mouth with every bite.

How To Make stuffed beef tenderloin recipe

Test Kitchen Tips
Roasting time will vary based on the thickness of the beef. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Medium rare is between 130 - 135 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter and cook the green onions.
    1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium skillet, melt the butter and cook the green onions over low heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Adding mushrooms to the skillet.
    2
    Add the mushrooms and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half. Let cool.

    Bring the 2 sides of the tenderloin up and around the filling to meet. Using butcher string, tie the tenderloin together at 2-inch intervals. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp of black pepper and salt over the meat.
