Mustard-Crusted Beef Tenderloin

Person talking
This tenderloin has a very nice crust on it. Some minced garlic in the mustard mixture adds a nice kick. I have also used the same mustard crust on a pork tenderloin, and that works very well too. Can be served cut into thin strips and served over a spinach salad with a vinegar based dressing in the summertime. This is adapted from Gourmet magazine, August 2000.

Yum! This was a great way for us to use our very special caribou loin. The mustard flavor was delicious. Although, we did cook it a little longer to get it closer to medium, rather than medium-rare. Served with peas and Recipe #200525 for a full meal.Reply
