Preparation

Cut beef tenderloin into 4 thick slices.

Melt 1 tbsp (15 mL ) of the butter and oil in a large skillet. Cook beef over medium heat for 10 min, turning once. Remove and keep warm in 225 °F (100 °C) oven.

Add remaining butter to skillet and stir in vegetables. Cook for 5 min or until vegetables are softened.

Add Madeira and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Continue to boil until Madeira is syrupy in consistency. Add cream and mustard, simmer for 3 to 4 min or until slightly thickened. Season to taste. Pour over the beef and sprinkle with parsley.
