Roasted Beef with Mushrooms & Red Potatoes
A roasted beef tenderloin is accompanied by quartered mushrooms and red or white potatoes. This combination makes for one of the most satisfying family meals. The beef is coated with a flavorful rub of Dijon mustard, cracked black peppercorns, and salt. This rub forms a beautifully seasoned crust. It locks in the juices and enhances the natural richness of the meat. As it roasts, the mushrooms and potatoes cook alongside, soaking up the savory aromas and complementing the tenderloin perfectly. By the time it reaches the table, you have a harmonious plate. Every bite is a celebration of flavor and comfort. The dish includes succulent beef, earthy mushrooms, and tender potatoes.
I love roasting this meal in a deep four-inch porcelain pan with a handle and lid. My pan works great on the stovetop and in the oven up to 450 degrees F. I cook various complete meals in my favorite pan. I make Bavarian stew, apple cider glazed pork tenderloin, and one-pot taco pasta.
Cost to make this recipe.
You are likely familiar with my recipes. You know that I calculate the cost of all my ingredients to create these amazing meals or desserts. The majority of the recipes have a low cost that fits nearly every budget. Well, that is except for this one. Because of all the expensive ingredients like beef tenderloin, mushrooms, and cracked black pepper, this recipe cost me roughly $31.70 or $7.93 per serving size.
Add another cheap veggie on the side. Then this complete meal isn’t too expensive when you look at the serving cost. You may also have some roast beef leftover for another dinner recipe.
