Ingredients for Beef Tenderloin With Henry Bain Sauce

  • Mango Chutney
  • Ketchup
  • Chili Sauce
  • Steak Sauce
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Hot Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh Ground Pepper
  • Beef Tenderloin

How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Henry Bain Sauce

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup mango chutney and process until completely smooth.
  2. Add 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender.
  3. Blend until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Rub the butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the 2-3 pound trimmed beef tenderloin.
  7. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place the tenderloin on a lightly greased rack set inside a jellyroll pan for even cooking.
  8. Gently fold under 4 to 6 inches of the narrow end of the tenderloin to help it fit securely on the rack.
  9. Roast the tenderloin in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it reaches your desired internal temperature (use a meat thermometer). For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C).
  10. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  11. Slice the tenderloin against the grain and serve immediately with the chilled Henry Bain Sauce.
  12. **Alternative:** Serve tenderloin slices on toasted homemade buns with the sauce for a delicious sandwich!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
