FAQ about Beef Tenderloin (Ireland) | 2500 g

What characterizes Irish beef tenderloin?

Irish cattle benefit from rich pastures and a damp climate that is ideal for grass growth. This gives the tenderloin, already naturally the most tender muscle of the beef, a buttery texture and a very subtle herbaceous flavor—less pronounced than a ribeye, but of great delicacy.

How should you prepare this tenderloin before cooking?

Always take your meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the fibers to relax at room temperature and prevents a thermal shock in the pan. This guarantees a tender, juicy center and an even cook.

What is the best way to cook beef tenderloin?

This very lean cut of meat does not tolerate overcooking. I recommend searing it over high heat in a mixture of oil and butter to create a beautiful caramelized crust thanks to the Maillard reaction. Then, serve it 'blue' or 'rare'.

Why is it crucial to let the meat rest after cooking?

Resting is an essential technical step. By letting the meat rest under aluminum foil for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking, the juices that have concentrated in the center due to the heat will redistribute evenly throughout all the fibers. This ensures your tenderloin is perfectly juicy when sliced.

Should you salt the meat before or after cooking?

As a butcher, I advise you to salt the cut generously just before placing it in the pan. The salt helps to form the crust. On the other hand, save the pepper for the end of the cooking process to prevent it from burning in the pan and developing an unpleasant bitter taste.

Does beef tenderloin contain a lot of fat?

No, it is one of the leanest cuts of beef. Unlike a bone-in ribeye or an entrecôte, the tenderloin has virtually no intramuscular fat, also known as marbling. Its gastronomic value lies entirely in its extreme tenderness and the fine grain of the meat.
