It's hard to walk past the Harris Teeter beef tenderloin when it's on a big sale, and that leads to a great excuse to have the table full of the regularest regulars of the Roediger House, even on a weeknight, as occurred this past Thursday. Slow-roasted to a perfect temperature, and then broiled briefly with a shallot-thyme butter dousing to give it a crusty goodness on the outside, the amazing beef was joined by layered green bean casserole and homemade creamy mashed potatoes. For some of us, the beef tenderloin can't be complete without spicy horseradish sauce. It was heart-warming to see all plates return to the buffet counter for seconds, and for there to be at least one nomination for "best beef tenderloin yet."
Gern was ready.
