Beef Tenderloin with Cherry-Black Pepper Sauce





YUMMY!


serves 12 ( 6 points+)



  • 3 lbs. beef tenderloin, trimmed ( I used three 1 pound tenderloins)
  • 3 T. butter, divided
  • ¼ c. chopped shallots
  • ½ c. balsamic vinegar
  • ½ c. cherry preserves
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
Melt 1 T. butter in a large skillet. Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper. Brown in butter. Remove beef from skillet and place on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until desired doneness. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, place shallots in the same skillet and cook until translucent. Add 1 tsp. pepper, balsamic vinegar and cherry preserves. Cook until thickened ( about 6 minutes). Stir in remaining 2 T. butter.

Serve beef with sauce.

    HI Melissa,
    The serving size was 3 oz. cooked beef and 1/12 of the sauce…not exactly sure how much that was.
