6. Meanwhile, strain the mushroom and carrot mixture from the slow cooker, reserving the liquid for the gravy.


7. In a saucepan, heat the reserved liquid over medium heat until it starts to simmer.


8. Add a tablespoon of flour (optional) and whisk continuously until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.


9. While the gravy is simmering, slice the beef tenderloin into thick medallions.


10. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin with the mushroom and carrot mixture on a plate and drizzle the mushroom gravy on top.
