Seared Beef Tenderloin Mini Sandwiches with Mustard-Horseradish Sauce

These mini sandwiches are a great beef tenderloin appetizer. Serving beef tenderloin as an appetizer is an elegant, yet budget-friendly way to enjoy a pricey cut of meat. We had these at our first organizational meeting on November 30, 2013. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/seared-beef-tenderloin-mini-sandwiches-with-mustard-horseradish-sauce-10000000833356/

    This was my review on MyRecipes.com:

    Made this for our cooking group’s first organizational meeting and loved it. I stuck pretty close with the recipe and only cheated and used dried tarragon since I wanted to make the sauce the night before didn’t have fresh in the house. We will make the sauce to use on sandwiches because it had a very nice flavor.
