Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the beef tenderloin rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender and juicy result.
• For a more intense mushroom flavor, you can use a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) during the last few minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
• To store leftovers, place the sliced beef and sauce in separate airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• When reheating, gently warm the beef in a skillet over low heat and heat the sauce separately, stirring occasionally.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To serve, gently reheat the beef and sauce separately.
• Serve with roasted potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
