1 (3 to 4 lb.) tenderloin of beef, trimmed
1 onion, sliced
2 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. Kikkoman soy sauce
3/4 c. sherry

Rub beef with ginger and garlic on both sides. Place the onions on the bottom of pan, then place tenderloin on top. Baste with half the soy sauce and half the sherry. Bake in 450 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until desired doneness, basting with remaining soy sauce and sherry while cooking. Slice thick and serve with onion on top of meat.

Serves 6-8.

Served with rice that has been cooked in beef broth and soy sauce. Top the rice with sauteed mushrooms and green onions. This is one of the few pieces of red meat that we cook indoors. Guests ask for it again and again.

A good burgundy is nice or a Petit Sarah.

A great addition to this recipe is after cooking the tenderloin 25 minutes, remove meat from oven; split the meat down the middle. Take 2 to 3 lobster tails; split the shells and rub lobster with soy sauce. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove lobster from shell. Stuff lobster into tenderloin. Place under broiler only to heat - again basting with soy sauce and sherry. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and melted butter. Slice and serve.
