Ingredients
Beef Tenderloin:
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 (4 to 5-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Hollandaise Diablo:
- 5 large egg yolks*
- 1 1/2 cups butter, melted and very warm
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- Dash hot pepper sauce, or cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
Directions
To make Beef Tenderloin: Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the salt and brown sugar and then pour onto a baking sheet. Roll the tenderloin in the salt and sugar mixture, so that the tenderloin is completely covered. In a large braising pan, heat the oil over high heat. Place the whole tenderloin in the hot oil and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on all 4 sides. Remove from the heat and place the tenderloin on a baking sheet. Finish cooking in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat is 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes while making the hollandaise sauce. Slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and serve warm with Hollandaise Diablo.
To make Hollandaise Diablo: In a blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the egg yolks on low. With the machine running, slowly add the melted butter, lemon juice, tomato paste, hot pepper sauce, to taste, and salt, to taste. Pulse until combined. Serve over the sliced beef tenderloin.
* Professional Recipe
This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional and makes a large quantity. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe in the proportions indicated and therefore cannot make any representation as to the results.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

My friend served this at her Christmas party I thought she had it catered! I couldnt believe she mad it! I was also completely floored that it was INCREDIBLY simple to do! Tomorrow is Christmas and I am having family over... THIS is our Christmas dinner from now on! I double the salt and sugar as I like it completely covered and when you brown it dont worry about the small "tail", you dont have to brown that part as it cooks faster. Also, the "resting" stage is pretty important before cutting... It is acutally completing the cooking process to make sure you let it have the alotted time outside the oven before cutting. ENJOY! YUM!

...but this was particularly good anyway. The hollandaise also went nicely with broccoli and a baked potato.
