This was incredibly tasty. Possible the best tenderloin I've had.
This was absolutely delicious!! Followed the recipe exactly and the coarse sea salt came off completely leaving it tender and perfectly seasoned. I am not sure what the other reviewer did that it wasn't good.
Ah-Mazing!!! Will never need another recipe for beef tenderloin again. Just perfect. I had a 5lb tenderloin so doubled the “marinade”. I didn’t want to smoke out the house so I skipped searing the meat and opted to cook at 475 for 10 min then lowered my oven to 325 for another 45 min. Thermometer read 145 when I took it out. Let meat test for 15 min. The salt “crust” fell right off giving the meat delicious flavor. The beef was so tender and juicy. Perfectly pink. Got rave reviews from guests. Tasty as leftovers too!
Amazing! Followed to the T and came out perfect. If you are sensitive to salt, pick a different recipe!
I was working with a less than reliable gas oven, but it came out sooo good. I will never go back to another recipe.
I had my doubts about all the salt on this roast, but was pleasantly surprised to find it did not taste salty at all. Went by receipt exactly. Had to roast it a little longer than called for as I don't like real bloody meat. I'll make it again.
The temp this guy said to do this dish at left my meat bloody. I'm sorry but I like cooked meat not raw so I looked it up and the serve safe national restaurant association says that the temp this recipe says to cook the meat to is a temp danger zone and bacteria growth is present it says between 41 and 135 is the zone. I also read for a medium well beef 145 is the temp it should be.
Sorry chef John this was the saltiest meat its ever been my displeasure to eat. And I had to eat it because it's tenderloin and it's expensive. Washed off and doused in a creamy (salt-free) gravy it was edible but it wasn't good. First bad experience I've really had with Food Wishes but it really stings because of how expensive tenderloin is.
The family loved it... all 18 lbs were eaten at one sitting. I followed the recipe to the T... and cooked 25 mins. after I took it out of the oven to let it rest, I check the temp again, it only registered 120, I put it back in the 475 over for an additional 7-8 minutes, it was a perfect medium rare.
