Serves 2
3/4-1 pound beef tenderloin, whole
2 tablespoons Herb Butter*
salt and pepper
Spicy Herb Butter*
Curry and chili sauce add an unexpected twist to this delicious herb butter. It’s wonderful paired with Beef Tenderloin, but really works well on its own served with a crusty baguette or Grilled Bread at the table. You can add or delete ingredients at will for this butter — that’s the beauty of it. Just taste your way to perfection.
8 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 cup chili sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Season tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in a skillet. Add the tenderloin and sear quickly on all sides —
the crust should be a medium brown.
Transfer tenderloin to an oven-safe dish. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or
until done to your specifications. Ideally, meat should be about
medium-rare.
