Ingredients
  1. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  2. 2 cups fresh baby portobello mushrooms, quartered
  3. 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  4. 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
  5. Cornbread Stuffing (recipe follows)
  6. 1 (2-pound) center-cut beef tenderloin
  7. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  8. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  9. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a roasting pan with foil.
  2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together mushroom mixture, blue cheese, and Cornbread Stuffing.
  3. Place beef lengthwise on a cutting board, with one short end closest to you. Holding your knife parallel to the bottom of the tenderloin, make a lengthwise cut along the bottom-third of one long side, cutting to within 1/2 inch of other long side. Open meat at incision as if you were opening a book. Again, holding your knife parallel to tenderloin with the blade facing the thicker side, make another lengthwise cut into thicker side of tenderloin, cutting to within 1/2 inch of opposite side. Again, open meat at incision as if you were opening a book.
  4. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin, flatten any thicker portions of meat until you have an even thickness throughout (do not flatten meat any thinner than 1/2 inch thick). Spread stuffing mixture to within 1/2 inch of edges of beef. Starting at one short side, roll up meat and stuffing. Tie tenderloin together at 1-inch intervals with butcher’s twine. Brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place seam side down in prepared pan.
  5. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145° for medium-rare, about 45 minutes. Loosely cover with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
  1. If you prefer your beef cooked beyond medium-rare, reduce the oven temperature to 375° after 45 minutes and continue cooking to desired degree of doneness.
