Filet Sandwiches Recipe

Approx. 1 pound - Beef Tenderloin

Approx. 1 TBL - Seasoned salt

1 dozen - Small rolls, rectangular "finger rolls"

6 TBL - Mustard Mayonnaise sauce

Pre-heat grill or oven broiler to approximately 450 degrees. Split the rolls down the center. Set aside. Season the tenderloin and place on the grill or in the broiler. Cook the tenderloin for about 5 to 7 minutes, turning every minute or two. Remove the tenderloin and set on the side to rest.

Place the rolls, cut side down on a sheet pan and place them in the oven. Cook until hot and browned on the cut side.

Remove the rolls and spread the Mustard Mayonnaise sauce on the cut side of the rolls. Slice the tenderloin and divide the meat on the roll bottoms. Place the tops of the rolls on the sandwiches and separate the rolls. Place the individual sandwiches on a serving tray and serve immediately.
