FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw tenderloin roast last in the fridge?
It typically stays fresh for 3 to 5 days when kept at a constant temperature of 40°F (4°C) or lower.
Can I freeze a raw beef tenderloin roast?
Yes, it freezes very well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil or a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn; it lasts 6-12 months.
What is the best way to select a high-quality tenderloin roast?
Look for meat that is bright cherry-red in color with fine white flecks of fat (marbling) and no grey or brown spots.
What can I substitute for beef tenderloin roast?
The best substitutes are ribeye roast for flavor or top sirloin roast for a leaner, more budget-friendly option.
Do I need to trim the roast before cooking?
Yes, you should remove the 'silver skin' (a tough, white connective tissue) as it does not break down during cooking.
Is beef tenderloin roast lean?
Yes, the tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of beef, making it lower in calories and saturated fat than ribeye or T-bone.
What is the ideal internal temperature for medium-rare?
Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) after resting; remove it from the oven when it hits 135°F (57°C).
Should I salt the roast before putting it in the fridge?
Salting 24 hours in advance (dry brining) can improve flavor and texture, but ensure it is kept uncovered on a rack in the fridge.
What are common dishes made with this cut?
It is the primary cut used for Beef Wellington, Chateaubriand, and high-end Sunday roasts.
How many people does a medium tenderloin roast serve?
A medium roast (approx. 2 lbs or 900g) typically serves 4 to 5 adults, assuming 6-8 ounces per person.
