FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw beef tenderloin last in the fridge?
Raw beef tenderloin roast typically lasts 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator if kept in its original packaging or tightly wrapped.
Can I freeze a whole beef tenderloin roast?
Yes, it freezes very well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or use a vacuum sealer. It will maintain best quality for 6 to 12 months.
What is the best substitute for beef tenderloin roast?
The best substitutes are top sirloin roast or eye of round roast for a lean option, though they are less tender. Ribeye roast is a flavorful but fattier alternative.
How do I select a high-quality tenderloin roast?
Look for meat that is bright cherry-red in color with fine white flecks of marbling. Avoid meat that looks grey or has a strong odor.
Should I wash the beef before cooking?
No, washing raw meat is not recommended as it can spread bacteria to your sink and kitchen surfaces. Cooking to the proper temperature kills bacteria.
Is beef tenderloin a lean cut of meat?
Yes, the tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of beef, making it lower in calories and saturated fat than many other steaks.
What is the 'silver skin' and should I remove it?
Silver skin is a tough, white connective tissue. It does not break down during cooking and should be removed with a sharp knife before roasting.
What are the best seasonings for beef tenderloin?
Because it is a mild-flavored cut, simple seasonings like kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic, and fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme work best.
How much beef tenderloin should I buy per person?
For a roast, plan on about 1/2 pound (225g) of raw meat per person to account for slight shrinkage during cooking.
