By advancedlca

Ingredients

• 2 pounds trimmed beef tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 teaspoons horseradish
• 48 toasted french bread rounds
• Madeira Mushrooms (recipe follows)
• Garnish: Fresh Parsley

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Rub tenderloin with oil, and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheets, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees. Cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into very thin slices.

3. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, and horseradish at medium-low speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

4. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over bread rounds. Top each evenly with Madeira Mushrooms. Arrange 1 slice beef tenderloin over mushrooms. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
