How to cook Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Stuffing:

• Marinate the beef in white wine overnight.
• Melt the butter in a pan; add the brandy, bay leaf, thyme, and salt to taste.
• Add the mushrooms and continue cooking.
• Meanwhile drain the beef, putting aside the marinade.
• Make an incision on the narrow side of the beef with a sharp knife.
• Stuff with mushrooms, seal the two end with two pieces of meat from the inside of the fillet and tie the meat with strings to keep the stuffing inside.
• Brown the fillet on all sides in the remaining butter or oil and baste it with some wine from the marinade then cover the pan.
• Lower the heat and continue cooking for about 40 minutes or until cooked.
• Serve the steak sliced and garnished with whole mushrooms sauteed in butter and sprigs of parsley.
