    My daughter and I just cooked this for Christmas. I Have prepared many beef tenderloins. This is a very easy consistent way to prepare a tenderloin. I wanted to spend the time with her and give her a go to recipe. I liked this recipe because you have two roasts. I cooked the head to 130 degrees and the rest to 140. That gives everyone what they want Instead of searing in a pan, I have a sear station on my Weber grill which gets up to 700 degrees, my wife appreciated that, it takes the mess outside. Bought the tenderloin at Costco so substituted stew meat for the chain worked great, everyone liked the sauce. I would do this again.

    I made this last night for Christmas Eve dinner. It was SOOOO good. Adjusted the gravy a bit, and after browning the meat, removed it and added mushrooms. Once they were cooked, I removed the mushrooms, continued the recipe as you had it. After straining, I added the mushrooms back to the empty pan to reheat and brown some more, then out the sauce back in. It was AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank you for the recipe!

    I followed your recipe for a big family dinner last weekend. It was a huge success. Thank you. The sauce is to die for. There wasn't a drop left. Easily served 10 from a whole 3kg tenderloin prepared exactly as you directed. Could have fed the 3 who couldn't make it too, but there wouldn't have been as many second helpings.

    We reproduced these same cooking techniques for pork tenderloin replacing the savory sauce with a apple jelly garlic infused sauce. It was magnificently tender and juicy. You CAN roast lean tender meats without over cooking them.

    • @craigmeyer5291
      @craigmeyer5291 ปีที่แล้ว

      It takes some restraint to cook good cuts properly. While stuff's all hot and sizzling, it is hard to remember that the meat will still keep cooking inside. I have found that the reverse sear, brown the surfaces first and then let the meat cook to temperature off direct heat or oven, like 125F--destined to be 130+ or maybe ++, by the time it hits your taste buds. Same for the thinner cuts, they'll yield a great medium for the less sanguine of our dining companions. Cook to 137F and then let the slices rest and keep cooking to a small pink center. Patience, Prudence!

    A great substitute to thicken your sauce instead of a cornstarch slurry (can gum on you real fast) is just use a tsp/tbs (depending on how much liquid you actually are thickening) of powder gelatin (flavorless kind). Also it's a better texture. Makes it more like a traditional demi-glace. And leftovers will hold better.

    QUESTION - what do you all think about following this recipe, but brushing the tenderloin with some oil and finishing on the grill?
    I ask because this Christmas the in-laws are coming over for Christmas Eve dinner, and instead of a more traditional dish we have decided to serve beef tenderloin. But, the final headcount will be close to 20-25 people so besides having to put out some serious money on beef, I am wary about having to cook two whole tenderloins and finishing on the stove. So, I could prepare in the oven as in the recipe in the afternoon, allow the beef to rest, and then finish on the grill to get the crust?
    Please let me know your thoughts, thank you in advance.

    It was delicious none the less and for the sauce I used dry thyme and red onion, but it still turned out pretty good, could have been better but still tastey.
    Thank you!!!

    • @cxa340
      @cxa340 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found a different recipe for eye of round you might try from Adam Regusia’s channel. Put the eye of round in your oven on the lowest setting your oven has, basically 180-200, and roast very slowly over the course of 8 hours. When the probe thermometer reaches the 125 medium rare then you are done. This works for eye of round because it is so tough, and can dry out so easily, which is why it is a more affordable cut of meat, but also why more traditional recipes just do not work for eye of round. We tried it for a Sunday dinner, and I will say it made a really cheap eye of round roast taste like a nice tender roast beef. Check out his channel for the full recipe, but basically yeah a recipe like this just will not work for eye of round. Eye of round is just too special a cut that you need a recipe written specifically for that cut.

      It's perfectly cooked!
      The longer you cook a steak, the hotter it gets, and as it heats up, the muscle fibers get firm and all the juices cook out. The result is that the interior of a well-done steak is a uniform gray color, and the steak itself is tough, chewy, flavorless, and dry. This isn't cooking; it's arson.
      Most chefs regard beef cooked to medium-rare - with an internal temperature of 130-135F (55-57C) - as the best way to bring out flavour and retain moisture in tender cuts such as rib eye and top loin.
