This recipe has nothing to do with veggies, besides the zucchini you can saute & serve on the side. But it's DELICIOUS! You don't even have to used the tenderloin, we have done a top sirloin for a smaller meal also. I also used SmartBalance instead of butter & added a sprinkle of garlic powder to the beef.
Beef:
1 Beef tenderloin (about 2 1/4lbs) trimmed & tied
1 Tbl unsalted butter, softened
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Heat over to 350*. Pat beef dry & spread with butter, sprinkle salt & pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes until temp reaches 135*- flipping halfway through cooking
Blue Cheese Butter:
1/4 crumbled Blue Cheese
3 Tbl unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbl fresh chopped parsley or 2 tsp dried
Stir together while beef is roasting.
Remove roast, place on serving platter, top with 1/3 butter, let sit 10 minutes. Slice and serve with remaining butter.
