Prepare the meat by trimming all the excess fat making sure you slice off the tough shiny silverskin which runs along the surface of the tenderloin.
Rub the olive oil all over the beef.
In a small bowl mix the oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture all over the meat .
In a large frying pan sear the meat on all sides until a nice crust appears.
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the beef on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast uncovered for about 40 minutes turning once during the cooking.
Remove beef from the oven and let stand around 20 minutes before slicing. Roast should be medium-rare.
Meanwhile in a large frying pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Sauté the onions, garlic an mushrooms for 8 to 10 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water then mix into the mushrooms.
Gradually stir in the beef broth and stir for about 2 minutes until sauce thickens.

Lobster Carbonara
INGREDIENTS
2 8-12oz. lobster tails
1/4 cup of prosciutto chopped
1/4 cup of button mushrooms sliced
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 bunch of long green onions chopped
1 can of sweet peas
4 eggs
3 Tbls of butter
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of chopped parsley
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of freshly ground black pepper
1 pound of linguini
PREPARATION
Remove lobster from the shell and chop into bite size piece. Refrigerate until your ready to use. If you choose you could reserve the shells and stuff them with the carbonara mixture and serve with a vegetable side or like I prefer serve over the linguini.
In a large frying pan sauté the onions, garlic, mushrooms & prosciutto in butter for five minutes until vegetables are soft & bacon is crisp.
Stir in lobster meat and peas for another 2 minutes until lobster is white and tender.
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and cook the linguini for about 10 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss with the lobster and vegetable mixture
In a large bowl beat eggs and cream and stir into the hot linguini. This will prevent the eggs from over cooking. The heat from the linguini should cook the eggs enough.
Stir in parmesan cheese and top with parsley.
