Tenderloin with Provencal herbs and béarnaise sauce

Long live France! This time we are going on the French tour. We’re doing this using Provencal herbs and a classic French sauce, béarnaise. And what goes better with this than a tasty tender tenderloin?

Beef tenderloin is known as one of the most tender pieces of beef. Because there are only two of these, about 2.5 kg, in a beef, it is unfortunately also a precious piece of beef.

Tenderloin is a piece of beef that is characterized by a very tender structure. Due to the lean character of the meat, it often has a less pronounced taste. That is why we like to combine it with tasty herbs and a suitable sauce.

It is also a very traditional cut of meat. That is why we also combine it with a traditional sauce this time. They call Bearnaise sauce the king of sauces. It is a creamy sauce that goes particularly well with a delicious piece of meat such as tenderloin.

With the recipe below, you can put a delicious traditional dish on the table. Bon appétit!
