Seared Beef Tenderloin Mini Sandwiches With Mustard-Horseradish image

These mini sandwiches are a great beef tenderloin appetizer. Serving beef tenderloin as an appetizer is an elegant, yet budget-friendly way of enjoying a pricey cut of meat. GOOD TO KNOW: While most appetizers are fat-bombs, the lean beef tenderloin has half the fat as a serving of Swedish meatballs. The combination of protein and carbohydrates will satisfy, but try a multigrain baguette for extra fiber.
