I made this (with the help of my mother) last Sunday, and it came out great. My one mistake was that I cooked it for too long but it still had great flavor. My dad liked it, but mom's a vegetarian, so I made the Merlot sauce with vegetable stock so she could have some too. But she didn't. Oh well! I think she's going to let me make it for the Christmas Eve dinner

Made this for Valentine's. It was wonderful. Tasty, juicy, pretty! Whenever I make a special dish like this, my husband is apt to suggest we serve it when we have company :) So, I told him it had to be very special company! (given the price of the beef), but it was definitely worth it!

This meal was tasty! Instead of stuffing the beef with Gorgonzola try a large curd cottage cheese and asparagus or zucchini mixture, I like to smoke the beef to, it's pretty easy. Just get yourself a few peices of wood, whatever you can find I used a peice of 1/4 plywood shoved in a grill and just smoked the beef for about 4 hours. After that mashed up some jalepenos and the asparagus, and stuffed the beef. After that get yourself one of those cooking strings wrap the beef but stuff with large curd cottage cheese about one tablespoon per cut slow cook in oven at 225* for 4 hours. As for the wine sauce mix in a cup rosemary, kosher salt, vegetable oil, worshishsicer sauce, and a little mustard ( I like spicy mustard) mix it all up and cook it in a sauce pan till smoking and pot on beef while still a peak temp and there you have it, I pair the beef with biscuits filled with goat cheese so tasty

I don't get the cutting instruction. If it's a whole tenderloin, just cut it vertically to within an inch of the opposite side and lay it open, I.e. butterfly. Right?
