Elegant meals need not be laborious to make. This velvety beef tenderloin cooks fast and the blender sauce comes together with the press of a button. Parsley and cilantro add a bright note to the herb sauce. Consider making a double-batch to have on hand to use as a sandwich spread. Serve these steaks with a simple side salad or accompanied by a few spears of cooked asparagus. Leftover cold beef makes the best roast beef sandwiches, especially slathered with the herb sauce. Bon appetit!
