BEEF TENDERLOIN W/2 SAUCES: HORSERADISH & CREOLE MUSTARD

Beef Tenderloin W/2 Sauces: Horseradish & Creole Mustard image

This is awesome! Ususally, I don't like anything extra on my steak but this is wonderful! These sauces are great but that doesn't mean you have to eat it with the sauce. This tenderloin recipe is Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2003. The Creole Seasoning comes from "New New Orleans Cooking" by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993. The Creole Mustard Dressing is courtesy of "Louisianna Real and Rustic" by Emeril Lagasse and Marcelle Bienvenu, William Morrow Publishers. This roast can be used cold; the day before roast the meat and place on a platter and wrap tightly in saran wrap or aluminum foil, just let rest 40 minutes before refrigeration.
