💭 Tips for the best beef tenderloin

• Always check the internal temperature of the roast using an instant-read meat thermometer. Timing is only a guide, where the thermometer will give you the exact level of doneness the roast has achieved.
• When tying the roast, be sure to fold the thinner end up to bring the whole roast to a more uniform thickness while cooking.
