Ingredients

6 (2-inch) beef tenderloin steaks
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
3 rounded tablespoonfuls prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup
2 tablespoons chopped chives, 8 blades
1/2 cup Madeira or other dry sherry, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Season meat with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over high heat. If you have a rubber handled pan, wrap the handle twice with tin foil for baking.

Sear meat in the very hot nonstick skillet to caramelize the beef, 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to oven and cook 8 to 15 minutes longer for medium rare to well done meat.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons butter. Combine melted butter with flour and cook a minute longer. Whisk in milk. Thicken milk to gravy consistency, then stir in horseradish, chives and salt and pepper. Transfer sauce to a serving dish.

Remove meat from oven and transfer to a platter. Return pan to stovetop over moderate heat and deglaze pan with 1/2 cup Madeira or dry sherry. Add remaining tablespoon butter to the pan and pour the drippings over steaks.

Just Okay
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was excited about the sauce, however it wasn't as tasty as I thought. The steaks were very good but the sauce had the... consistency of oatmeal. I'm glad I tried it.Read more

Sauce trumps steaks
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This is really tasty sauce. The steaks were average, but the sauce makes the meal.

bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought the sauce was a little bland. Putting cream style horseradish on the steak would have had a better taste and been... healthier than a sauce with all of that butter.Read more

Cooks perfectly EVERY TIME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this once a couple weeks ago and we've been drooling for it again. It cooks absolutely perfectly everytime! The only... ovensafe skillet I have is a cast iron skillet and it works wonderfully for this dish. I preheat it for a couple minutes first and the outside gets very carmelized and crispy.Read more
