Beef Tenderloin Steaks with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce

I wouldn't call the mushrooms a 'sauce', but they are delicious - wonderful flavor -- even my husband commented on their flavor. Definitely a keeper. I used a mix of shiitake and baby portobella mushrooms and served with grilled filet mignon. Chive Mashed Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts w/Currants & Pine Nuts -- both outstanding CL recipes -- rounded out the meal.

Excellent. I used 75% baby bellas and 25% white mushrooms. Did NOT add the last T of fresh Thyme...find thyme can be overpowering some times. Very Veryt Good

This is a really great recipe - tons of flavor and definitely nice enough for a special occasion. Stop by my food blog at www.whitefluffyicing.com!

I actually just made the mushroom sauce and really enjoyed it over mashed potatoes. I increased the amount of balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce to make more of a gravy but kept the same ratio. Check out my post here: http://www.icancookthat.org/2011/09/mashed-potatoes-with-mushroom-sauce.html
