INGREDIENTS<br />
Whole Beef Tenderloin<br />
2 Tbsp of DZ Seasoning<br />
1 Large Package of<br />
Portabella Mushrooms<br />
1 Bunch of Green Onions<br />
4 Cloves of Garlic<br />
1/2 Cube of Butter<br />
1/2 Bunch of Parsley<br />
1/2 Cup of White Wine<br />
1 Pint of Veal Demi Glaze<br />
3 Sweet Potatoes<br />
3 Yams<br />
1 Onion<br />
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar<br />
1 Tbsp of Cinnamon<br />
1/2 Cup Cubed Mango<br />
2 Small Cans of Cubed<br />
Pineapple<br />
Preparation<br />
Peel 3 sweet potatoes and 3 yams and cut<br />
them into 1 1/2 pieces.<br />
Put them in a baking dish and add the cubed<br />
mango, sliced pineapple, sliced onion, brown<br />
sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of melted<br />
butter.<br />
Place in the oven to bake for 30 to 40<br />
minutes on 350 degrees.<br />
Rub the whole tenderloin with olive oil and<br />
DZ Seasoning. Put it in the refrigerator one<br />
hour before cooking.<br />
Now take a fry pan and heat it up with a<br />
little olive oil. Place the steak in to sear it<br />
and brown on all sides. You are not cooking it<br />
just searing it.<br />
Now in a baking pan place the tenderloin and<br />
add ½ cup of white wine and place it in the<br />
oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.<br />
Chop the green onions, cloves of garlic,<br />
parsley and put in the fry pan coated with a<br />
1/2 cube of butter. Sauté for a few<br />
minutes.<br />
Next add the large package of sliced<br />
mushrooms and a teaspoon of DZ Seasoning.<br />
Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.<br />
Now add 1/2 cup of white wine. Sauté for a<br />
few minutes then add the Demi Glaze.<br />
Let simmer on low for 10 to 15 minutes. <strong>The</strong><br />
sauce will begin to thicken up. Take off the<br />
heat and take 1/2 cube of butter that has<br />
been cut into slices so it melts and mixes<br />
into the sauce.<br />
When everything is done, slice the tenderloin<br />
in thin pieces about 1/2 inch thick and fan<br />
them on a platter in a half circle layering them like dominoes. <strong>The</strong>n pour<br />
the sauce all over the steak. Garnish with chopped parsley. Place the<br />
sweet potatoes and yams in the center.<br />
BEAUTIFUL AND YUMMY!<br />
