Ingredients
Instructions
- Sauté mushrooms, chopped green onions, and chopped parsley in 1 teaspoon hot vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until liquid is evaporated; cool.
- In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, dry white wine, minced garlic, light brown sugar, and honey to make the marinade.
- Make a 1-inch deep cut lengthwise down the top of the beef tenderloin.
- Spoon the mushroom mixture into the cut of the tenderloin.
- Tie the tenderloin with cotton string at 1-inch intervals to secure the stuffing.
- Place the stuffed tenderloin in a large shallow dish.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the tenderloin, cover, and chill for 2 to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
- Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
- Place the tenderloin on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan.
- Add 1 cup of water to the roasting pan.
- Bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and boil for 1 minute.
- Bake the tenderloin at 425°F (220°C) for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare to 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Baste occasionally with the reserved marinade during roasting and cover with aluminum foil during the last 30 minutes.
- Let the tenderloin stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, marinate the beef tenderloin overnight to enhance the flavors. You can substitute shiitake mushrooms for a deeper flavor or use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce saltiness. If you prefer a sweeter marinade, increase the honey slightly. Always ensure to let the meat rest before slicing to retain the juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the marinated stuffed filet of beef with roasted vegetables or a side of garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal. A light salad or steamed asparagus pairs wonderfully as well. For a comforting twist, consider serving it alongside Beef And Rice Stroganoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
While beef tenderloin is recommended for its tenderness, you can use flank steak or sirloin as alternatives. Just be mindful that cooking times may vary, and these cuts may require marinating longer for optimal flavor.
How can I ensure my beef is cooked perfectly?
Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure your beef is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for 145°F (63°C) and for medium, 160°F (71°C). Letting the meat rest after baking allows the juices to redistribute.
What can I do with leftover marinade?
You can use leftover marinade as a sauce by boiling it for at least one minute to eliminate any harmful bacteria. This makes a delicious drizzle over your sliced beef or as a base for a stir-fry, complementing other beef recipes.
