Slow Cooker Beef Tenderloin with Mushroom Gravy and Carrots

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lb beef tenderloin


• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced


• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced


• 2 cups beef gravy


• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.


2. Place the seasoned beef tenderloin in a slow cooker and cover it with mushrooms and carrots.


3. Pour the beef gravy over the ingredients in the slow cooker, making sure everything is well coated.


4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The low heat will result in more tender meat.


5. After the cooking time, carefully remove the beef tenderloin from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes on a cutting board.


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.


11. You can also accompany this dish with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.


12. Enjoy your slow-cooked beef tenderloin with mushroom gravy and carrots, a comforting and flavorful main course for a delightful dinner!
