Ingredients

  • 6 (6 ounce) fillets beef tenderloin
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
  • 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, sliced
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 ounces Stilton or blue cheese, crumbled and divided
  • Garnish: fresh tarragon sprigs

Directions

  1. RUB fillets with tarragon and pepper.
  2. MELT 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired degree of doneness. Remove from skillet, and keep warm.
  3. MELT remaining 3 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add mushrooms, and saute 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Add wine, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of skillet. Stir in sour cream. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese into sauce, stirring until melted.
