In order to reduce fat in our family's diet, these small beef tenderloins
are the only steaks we buy anymore. But this quick and easy recipe calls
for a fat-free mushroom gravy, yum!
Ingredients:
4 beef tenderloin steaks (about 4-ounces each, and trimmed of extra fat)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1/4 - 1/2 c. diced onions
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 c. low-salt beef broth
1/3 c. fat-free sour cream
1 - 2 T. minced parsley, fresh if possible
Directions:
* Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high
heat. Sprinkle pepper and salt over both sides of steaks and rub in gently.
* Cook steaks in skillet for about 3 minutes on each side, or until done
as desired. (Tenderloins are meant to be still pink in the middle, but
we usually cook them a little more.) Remove steaks from pan and let rest
on a serving plate.
* To prepare gravy, add mushrooms, onions and garlic to the pan, over
medium-heat heat. Sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add broth and bring to
a boil. Cover skillet and reduce heat, simmer for 3-4 minutes.
* In a separate bowl, add the sour cream. Then gradually add the hot
mushroom mixture, stirring constantly. A wire whisk works best.
* Stir parsley into the mushroom gravy and serve over steaks or on the
side.
