8 slices enriched sandwich bread, toasted
Butter or margarine

Four 4 oz servings beef tenderloin

Spread toast with butter or margarine. For each sandwich, cut 2 pieces of toast into diagonal strips and place on platter.
Melt the 1/4 cup butter or margarine in skillet. Add garlic and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
Add tenderloin, season with salt and pepper, and brown well on both sides, (about 10 minutes).
Reduce heat and add 3/4 cup sherry. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, basting occasionally. Remove tenderloin and reserve pan drippings.
In saucepan, melt remaining 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Then add the mushrooms, remaining 1/3 cup sherry and water to drippings in skillet. Cook about 5 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Arrange tenderloin on toast and spoon hot sauce over sandwich.
*If 3/4 cup water seems to be too much, add gradually only using as much as needed or sauce may be cooked longer to reduce and thicken, if desired.
