stuffed beef tenderloin recipe
This is my go-to meal for date night. This sounds complicated, but it is so easy. When you buy the beef tenderloin, ask your butcher to butterfly the beef tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of the other side. My butcher is great and never has a problem doing it.
