****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "This
was the main dish at our Gourmet Club's dinner party for November.
It was very easy to make. I used a thermometer that is placed into
the meat, but sits outside of the oven, and we just kept an eye on the
temperature and got the rest of the dinner ready as soon as it was 10
degrees away from being finished. It was oh-so-tender and
delicious. Everyone liked it a lot. Look for the tenderloin
on sale!!"
