I am very excited to share this Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin with Bearnaise Sauce recipe with you today! Since we are full force into grilling season you could also do these on the grill. But for the recipe below, we’ll show you how to do these in the kitchen. Let me also say, these little bites of heaven are just fine the way they are without the sauce. But if you want to dress it up a little bit, we’ll also show you how to make that. If you’re like us, there are a lot of get-togethers and outside events coming up so I wanted to go ahead and put this out there to give you a great recipe to try.

Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin with Bearnaise Sauce

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Course Main

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Onion finely diced
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 1 tsp Tarragon
  • 1 tsp Chervil
  • 3 tbsp White Wine
  • 3 lb Beef Tenderloin
  • 1 lb Bacon

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop the onion so that it doesn't overpower the sauce.
  • Cook the chopped onion for 1 minute in the microwave to soften it.
  • Place the egg yolks in a saucepan and add the lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  • Add the first stick of butter, sliced into pats, and cook over very low heat stirring constantly until melted in.
  • Then add the next stick of butter in the same fashion continuing to stir constantly.
  • This process takes awhile because we want the egg and butter mixture to cook together.
  • If the heat is too high or you don't stir enough, the eggs will begin to cook on their own and the sauce will break. You'll know if/when this happens because you'll see lumps or curdles forming in your sauce.
  • If all goes according to plan, your sauce will begin to thicken and reach the point where it begins to look like a thin pudding. You'll see the line the spoon left after you drag it across the bottom.
  • Take the sauce off the heat, add the onions, tarragon and chervil and mix well.
  • Add the wine (if you don't have wine, you can substitute 2 tsp of lemon juice and 2 tbsp of water) and blend well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and set a broiler pan to the side.
  • Cut the tenderloin into 1" cubes.
  • Take the bacon slices and cut each piece into thirds.
  • Wrap each filet bite in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat a heavy skillet on high and sear each bite on all sides.
  • Transfer the seared pieces to a broiler pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Serve filet bites with Bearnaise sauce.

There you go! That is how you make this mouth watering Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin with Bearnaise Sauce! The sauce is probably the most intense part of this recipe, so if you mess it up, don’t worry. You’ll still have something delicious to eat. I don’t particularly like to chop up onion, especially when it has to be finely chopped. So I just throw mine in the Ninja, and let it do the work for me!
