Directions

1

Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Marinate beef in refrigerator in tightly sealed plastic bag or deep bowl 6 to 8 hours. Place tenderloin on rack in shallow roasting pan; turn thin ends under. Discard marinade. Insert meat thermometer so bulb is in thickest part of tenderloin. Roast uncovered at 425 degrees 45 to 60 minutes or until thermometer registers 140 degrees. Allow to stand 10 minutes before carving.

2

Rice Pilaf: Rinse wild rice. Add 1-1/2 cups broth to wild rice in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Add 1 cup broth to brown rice in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Add remaining 1 cup broth to aromatic white rice in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

3

Meanwhile, cook onions, pine nuts, and currants in butter in large skillet until onions are transparent. Stir in rice and mint; cook until thoroughly heated. Garnish rice with mint leaves.
