This beef tenderloin recipe is a family favorite that's quick and always satisfying. The creamy sauce has the perfect blend of horseradish and mustard.
Ingredients
4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon plus 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
5 tablespoons butter, divided
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Directions
Sprinkle steaks with 1 tablespoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steaks in 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter. Stir in the flour and remaining salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in horseradish and mustard. Serve with steaks.
