Cooking the perfect Tenderloin Steak

There is no reason why Tenderloin steak should intimidate you, unless there is some life-threatening competition that you need to win at any cost.

Filet mignon or tenderloin steak can be fun to fiddle with. Having said that, there are a multitude of ways in which it can be done- all crisply and nicely. The idea of the best tenderloin steak sure is riveting-it being embellished with aromatic hints of rosemary and nuttiness of brown butter. Deck it up with ideas and innovations, and voila! You’ll simply love yourself for having cooked it in the first place! Sure you will.

Tenderloin steak is, well, tender. It’s lean, and so has very little fat. However, with less and less of fat, the juiciness and flavour is somehow compromised on. The more you cook it up, the closer you get to eliminating the fat, and the drier you end up making it.

Ideally, the tenderloin steak should be cooked at high temperature to get a crunchier and tastier outside. Take the filet out of the oven 30 minutes before you want to cook it and season it with salt and pepper. Let the filet cool down to the room temperature which will help to ensure that cook it to the right doneness. Sear the filets for over 3-4 minutes and let depending upon the thickness. Don’t meddle with it; just let it cook on its own accord, says a chef at a famous restaurant in Vasant Kunj and Smoke House Deli.

For taste, and to add some lubrication, smear the filets with melted herb butter. You can tell the doneness by idea, and by judgement. Because you have cooked a few fillets, you will know how much more you need to cook it up to bring out the real taste of it. It’s always advisable not to cut into the filet to tell the doneness. It will end up horribly drying up the meat for the loss of juice and make it taste dry and tasteless.
