INGREDIENTS
- 4 (6-7 ounce) beef tenderloin filets
- 4 slices regular cut bacon
- 1/4 pound good quality blue cheese ; crumbled
- 2 medium yellow onions ; peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup red wine ; such as zinfandel
- salt ; to taste
- black pepper ; to taste
- olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Wrap the beef tenderloin in bacon. Secure the bacon with a wooden toothpick. Season with salt and pepper.
In olive oil, saute the beef tenderloin bacon side down. Roll the tenderloin around so the bacon has a chance to crisp. Finish cooking on
flat sides approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the tenderloin. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
Add a half a cup of red wine and a half a cup of beef broth to the pan. Reduce the liquid on high heat.
Place the caramelized onions on the plate, put the beef tenderloin on top, garnish with a little sauce, (don't forget to take out the toothpick) and lastly crumble on a little blue cheese.
NOTES
Serve this with homemade mashed potatoes and, if you like, you can even
stuff the tenderloin with blue cheese before wrapping with bacon.
