Looking for an amazing sauce for beef tenderloin – we have got you covered with two different sauces! A dreamy pan sauce + horseradish sauce!
Ingredients
Scale
Pan Sauce:
- leftover pan juices
- 1 garlic clove, smashed
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
- 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons shallot, minced
- 1–2 tablespoons brandy
- 3/4 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream or dairy-free cream (see Notes*)
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Horseradish Sauce:
- 2–3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Pan Sauce:
- Place a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and bring pan juices to a simmer. Add the smashed garlic, crushed peppercorns, fresh thyme, shallot, brandy, beef broth, cream, and lemon zest. Let simmer and reduce, uncovered, 10-15 minutes – whisking fairly often.
- Once it has reduced and it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon – remove from heat. Taste and add any salt or pepper, as desired.
Horseradish Sauce:
- Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Taste and add additional prepared horseradish, as desired.
Notes
- Pan Sauce: depending upon how you cook your beef tenderloin you *might* not have any pan juices to work with – fyi! We have had good luck with this Ultimate Beef Tenderloin – plenty of pan juices leftover!
- *Dairy-Free Cream: we tested the pan sauce using the unsweetened/unflavored Nutpods and it worked perfectly!
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
