About this recipe
Beef Tenderloin with Parmesan Horseradish Sauce Thermomix TM7 brings a true steakhouse classic into your own kitchen. Searching for recipes that deliver an elegant quick weeknight dinner or a festive main course with your all-in-one kitchen machine? This is the one. The tender beef fillet is seared until beautifully browned, while the TM7 takes care of the hardest part: the sauce. Cream, white wine, Dijon mustard, horseradish and grated Parmesan are emulsified into a silky, stable sauce that never splits, something that demands constant whisking by hand. Fresh thyme adds an aromatic note that lifts the whole plate. Because the machine handles the sauce with precise temperature control, you can focus entirely on getting the beef exactly rosé in the middle. Ideal for Christmas dinner, romantic evenings or whenever beef tenderloin is on offer, this recipe turns a premium cut into a restaurant-worthy experience.
Preparation tips
- Take the beef tenderloin out of the fridge well ahead of cooking so it reaches room temperature; this helps the meat sear evenly and stay beautifully rosé in the centre when paired with the horseradish sauce.
- Add the Parmesan to the sauce gradually while the blades turn gently, letting each handful melt fully before adding more; this prevents clumping and gives the horseradish cream its silky, glossy finish.
- If you prefer a milder sauce, rinse the jarred horseradish briefly under cold water before adding it, or stir in an extra spoon of cream; kids and sensitive palates will find the sauce far friendlier this way.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the heavy whipping cream with lactose-free cooking cream and use a lactose-free hard cheese instead of Parmesan; the sauce still emulsifies beautifully in the TM7 and keeps its sharp horseradish character.
- Festive Christmas variation: add a splash of Madeira instead of white wine and finish the sauce with a few drops of truffle oil before serving the beef tenderloin with roasted chestnuts and green asparagus for a luxurious holiday plate.
