Herb-Marinated Beef Tenderloin Menu (Serves 6)

• Herb-Marinated Beef Tenderloin
• Biscuits
• Warm fruit crisp
• Sparkling water with lime slices

Test Kitchen Tips: For easy fruit crisp, spoon 2 cans of your favorite flavor of pie filling into a 2-quart square baking dish. Sprinkle with purchased granola. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree F. oven or until heated through. Bake it while you eat and serve it warm with ice cream, if you like.

For easy biscuits, purchase refrigerated biscuit dough and bake according to package directions. Or, purchase frozen biscuits and heat according to package directions.
