MUSTARD BOURBON MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Note: The recipe calls for Grey Poupon peppercorn mustard. As this mustard is not available where I live -- I give the marinade a few good grinds of my peppercorn mill. (anywhere from 1 tsp to 1T).
• Wipe the tenderloin clean with a paper towel. Cut slits into the beef and add the garlic slivers. The amount of garlic used is up to personal preference.
• Combine mustard, bourbon, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, olive oil and garlic in a zip lock bag. Add beef and turn to coat both sides. Chill for several hours or overnight. Note: I have marinated the beef up to 3 days.
• Preheat grill.
• Remove marinade from zip log bag. Reserve marinade. Coat grill with vegetable oil or Pam. Sear beef for 2 minutes on each side. Cover grill and cook 45 - 60 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 150, brushing with reserved marinade occasionally.
• Alow beef to sit for 5 - 10 minutes before carving.
• The reserved marinate can be made into a sauce by combining it with 1 cup sliced mushrooms in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat and cook until heated through.
