A quick dish to pull together with a really elegant feel from the cream sauce - loved the hints of licorice from the tarragon in combination with the tangy mustard. I recommend doubling the sauce, because you will want more per serving!

I did a recipe search looking for an alternative to tenderloin with Bearnaise, and boy did this recipe fit the bill! Creamy, flavorful, and guest-worthy for sure. I may never make Bearnaise again!
