From the Test Kitchen
  • Note *Sea salt is derived from evaporated sea water. It has a bright, pure, clean flavor. Kosher salt is used in the preparation of meat according to Jewish dietary law. Kosher salt comes in flakes, not granules. Because it dissolves easily, its taste isn't as strong as regular salt.

This smelled delicious and was very tasty. I found it a little rare for my taste and would probably cook it a little longer next time. The mushrooms were particularly delicious. I used my own recipe for horseradish cream. I would definitely make again.

Very yummy and very easy. I made this for a dinner party I hosted and got rave reviews. However, I couldn't find beef tenderloin at the grocery so I got something called a Chuck Tender Roast, and that seemed to work just fine.
