Tenderloin is one of the most expensive beef cuts available in the market today. Because of its hefty price tag, it is important therefore to not mess it up. Make sure therefore to:
Trim it properly. Beef tenderloins come with silver skins, thick layer of white tissues that never tenderises. This does taste very good so make sure to remove all of the silver skin by using a thin, flexible knife.
Do not overcook. If you don’t like dry, tough meat, then don’t overcook tenderloin. They don’t come with fats so its easy to mess this up. Make sure to prepare this rare or medium rare to enjoy its full flavour.
