Drunken Beef Tenderloin image

Last time I made this was for a very elegant "After-Rehearsal Dinner" for one of my favorite couples. It was hit of course. I served with "Garlic Mashed Chive Potatoes" and fresh steamed green beans. Of course we had a great salad and wonderful desserts to follow.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

This dish was a bit too boozy for my taste. The sauce was overpowering and the beef was a bit tough.
