Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the beef come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the beef for desired doneness. For medium-rare, it should be around 135°F (57°C).
• Feel free to use a mix of different wild mushrooms for the sauce, such as shiitake, oyster, and cremini.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to the sauce and simmer until thickened.
• Leftover beef and sauce can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the beef tenderloin with wild mushroom cream sauce as a main course for a special dinner or holiday meal.
