In-laws come over Xmas eve. We'll be having a while tenderloin sous vide and then finished in my 500* FPG-500 pellet grill.

I'm looking for a really good sauce to serve with the tenderloin. Anyone got any good recipes?

Then Xmas day my parents come over, and I'll be rocking out a 30 day dry aged rib roast from Costco. Got that one covered in terms of my plan. :)

I'd go with a nice mushroom-garlic demi glace.

Red wine peppercorn cream sauce.

I’ve wanted to try this for a long time. Sometime after the first the wife travels to AZ to visit and play golf. Usually gone 6/7 days. I’m going to try to work this in.

Directions
Pulse 1 stick softened butter in a food processor with 1/3 cup chopped chives, 3 tablespoons horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Scrape the butter onto plastic wrap or parchment, wrap and shape into a log. Chill until firm. Slice and serve over grilled steak.
TIP: Try making other flavored butters with odds and ends from your fridge: capers, pickles, olives or even hot sauce.

Adams, that reminds me of this technique from Fatback Joe; Marrow Blue Cheese Butter!

I don't have a recipe but this sauce is awesome with beef.
Butter, cream, garlic, and gorgonzola cheese. Spice it up with rosemary or whatever flavors you want. I have used it on lamb also with mint and its damn good.

I've always been partial to Bearnaise on filet. If making a Hollandaise-type sauce is too much of a pain (it is in my house), you can make a quick substitute with mayo, a bit of Dijon, and dried tarragon - just let it set overnight.

I love bearnaise on tenderloin. but I am horrible at making hollandaise. I use knorr and add fresh tarragon to it. Knorr makes a bearnaise as well, but fresh tarragon is better than the dried. It is easy and goes very well with tenderloin.

Similar situation for me. I’m doing tenderloin for 12 Saturday, Prime Rib for 8 Sunday, and Salmon for 20 on Christmas Day.

I’m leaning toward a Roquefort cream sauce for the tenderloin steaks. Roquefort, butter, and heavy cream- hard to go wrong and less likely someone doesn’t find it appealing like say a whiskey cream sauce.

I live sous vide, but not with tenderloin. The crust just isn’t the same no matter how you finish. Good luck
