QUESTIONS ABOUT MAKING THIS GREEK STYLE BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST
Does the marinade make the roast more tender? A tenderloin, also known as chateaubriand, is the cut of beef that filet mignon comes from. It is seriously the king (or queen) of beef roasts and is the most tender. Tenderloin is very low in fat so the marinade adds flavor. If you prefer to skip the marinade step your roast will still be tender and juicy, just make sure to season the exterior of the roast well with salt and pepper and allow it to come up to room temperature before roasting.
What is the best doneness level for a tenderloin roast? Since the tenderloin comes from the beef loin, just under the ribs, it is a very lean cut of beef. Experts recommend cooking a tenderloin to a rare or medium-rare, but no more than medium to ensure maximum juiciness.
How much meat should I plan on per person? The Roast Perfect app (or your butcher) can calculate what size roast you need, but the rule of thumb is 8 ounces of meat per person.
How can I reheat leftover beef tenderloin? If your family is anything like mine, there won't be any leftovers but if you are lucky enough to have some for the next day, I suggest reheating at low temp (225 to 250 degrees F) in your oven. Place the roast on a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 110 degrees (I suggest using this thermometer that will beep when the meat comes to temp).
