Name: Make Ahead Tenderloin Sandwiches
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 -3 lbs beef tenderloin; Basting mixture; 1/2 cup butter; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; Bun spread; 1/2 lb butter; 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon thyme; 1 teaspoon celery salt

Servings: persons

1
Bake tenderloin in 200 degree oven for 2 hours, turning & basting with basting mixture every 20 minutes. Will cook to medium rare - 145 degrees.
2
While roasting, slice small silver dollar rolls and spread bun spread mixture on them.
3
When meat is done, let rest at least a half an hour. I've let it sit overnight. Using an electric knife, slice meat into thin slices, piling several slices onto each bun. Put buns on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with foil and put in fridge until ready to cook. Put a damp towel over buns. Remove foil before you do this and then bake in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
4
Serve to a party or any kind of gathering and step back for the stampede!
5
If there are any left, freeze individually for quick snacks or small meals. FANTASTIC!
6
Perfect for Sunday afternoons watching football, Friday nights when the teenagers invade my house looking for something besides doritos (they know that I will feed them well!), or weeknights when we are crazy driving from one activity to another and need something substantial -- not hamburger helper or easy mac.
