Mustard-Crusted Beef Tenderloin

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.
