📝 Preparation Steps
1
To trim the beef tenderloin:
2
On one end of the roast, slide the blade of your knife between the meat and the shiny connective tissue.
3
Immediately begin to pull the connective tissue back away from the meat as you continue to cut between the two until you've reached the other side of the roast. Work in strips if necessary and repeat as needed.
4
To tie the beef:
5
Using 12-inch lengths of kitchen twine, tie a loose knot around one end of the meat and pull until snug to make an anchor knot.
6
Pull a length of twine away from the anchor to create a large loop, then loop it around the tenderloin, spacing it about 1 1/2 inches from the anchor knot.
7
Pull more twine to create another loop and secure it 1 1/2 inches from the second loop.
8
Continue tying the roast crosswise at 1 1/2-inch intervals until the toast is evenly tied.
