Beef Tenderloin With Hollandaise Diablo

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt and sugar and pour onto a baking sheet. Roll the whole tenderloin in the salt and sugar mixture, so that the tenderloin is completely covered.

In a large braising pan, heat the oil on high heat. Place the whole tenderloin in the hot oil and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on all four sides.

Remove from the heat and place the tenderloin on a baking sheet. Finish in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.

Slice into 8 to 10 pieces and serve with warm Hollandaise Diablo.

For Hollandaise Diablo: In a blender or food processor fitted with metal blade, pulse egg yolks on low and slowly add melted butter, lemon juice, tomato paste, hot pepper sauce and salt.
