A good tenderloin steak naturally calls for a suitable drink. Whether you’re a fan of beer or wine, there’s an ideal combination for every tenderloin steak. These are our favorite combinations.
Classic tenderloin steak + Loetje’s Blond / Merlot
Our classic dish calls for a classic drink. Choose our own Loetje’s Blond beer or a Merlot. Not too heavy, not too overpowering, but perfectly balanced with the tenderloin steak and gravy.
Bali tenderloin steak + Lagunitas IPA
Bali tenderloin steak is spicy, which calls for beer rather than wine. With its caramel malts and hoppy flavor, the powerful Lagunitas IPA perfectly complements the spiciness of the sambal.
Tenderloin steak with garlic + Malbec
Garlic and tenderloin steak: a golden combination. But it needs to be paired with a robust red wine. A Malbec is full-bodied and powerful enough to balance the rich flavors of the meat and garlic sauce.
Roode Waard tenderloin steak + Cabernet Sauvignon
This rich and full-bodied dish deserves a wine that is just as generous. The Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep flavor and is the ultimate counterpart to the Roode Waard.
Tenderloin 0.0 + Texels Skuumkoppe
The subtle hints of caramel in this Texel dark wheat beer pair perfectly with a delicious grilled tenderloin 0.0. Prefer an alcohol-free option? 0.0 meets 0.0! The alcohol-free Texels Skuumkoppe also pairs perfectly with our steak 0.0.

Does Loetje have vegetarian options?
What gravy does Loetje use?
About our gravy
Quality is our number one priority at Loetje. We maintain our 45-year-old Loetje recipe for steak with gravy to ensure this. The ingredients of our iconic gravy are an essential part of it, which is why we have invested to preserve the margarine we have been using for 45 years.
Gravy for our tenderloin steak
45 years ago, Loetje started cooking with Blue Band margarine. In 2018, the decision was made to move away from Blue Band as it became a plant-based margarine and to develop our own margarine recipe with Remia. Our own margarine contains the animal proteins needed for the foamy Loetje gravy. Our tenderloin steaks do not use additives, and we use margarine only as the base for the gravy. To avoid dependence on a single producer, in 2022 we sought a second supplier. Therefore, in addition to our own recipe, we started using Solo margarine, which meets the same quality standards as 45 years ago.
Gravy for our plant-based steak
For our plant-based steak, we use the same margarine as for our tenderloin steak, which contains a milk component. The gravy for the plant-based steak is not yet plant-based, but it is vegetarian. Since the plant-based steak does not release animal juices that provide flavor to the gravy, we use a powder for the plain and garlic gravy of the plant-based steak to achieve the same flavor. This powder is based on natural ingredients such as tomato, carrot and bell pepper. We have not yet found a plant-based alternative for the butter we use in our gravy that has te same ‘foaming’ effect and meets our requirements. There is still too much impact on the flavor, affecting the experience. We are actively searching for the perfect plant-based gravy as well.
Can I also have lunch at Loetje?
You are more than welcome to join us for lunch at Loetje. We offer a delightful lunch menu. Of course, you can also order our delicious steak during lunch.
