This recipe represents the best bits from all of them.

NOTES : This is an amalgam of several different published recipes, all of which had some quality that I liked towards this dish. It's easy to make on a weekend night with hungry kids around! If your budget doesn't allow for tenderloins (filet mignons), feel free to substitute top sirloin, eye round or tri-tip steaks.
