Mmmm... tenderloins! I like to marinate them a bit at room temperature with a bit of wine, garlic and worcester sauce.

The duration varies for different thickness of tenderloin. It will be better if the recipe states the rough timings of different thickness.

Too Many Steps, TMI, this is a recipe not a how to. How to Cook? BBQ? Pan Fry? Broil? is this a 1in 8oz? What if your Rub isn't how I like my Tenderloin? what if I prefer a marinade? Say Beer Marinade & a Smoker?

Wow this is great, at least right now I can cook something with red wine. I haven't experience to cook beef tenderloin so now I could add it on my list for the dinner.

I agree, if we could know if we should slice the tenderloin into a specific thickness. But I think it's a great tip to sear it instead of roast it.
Posted 2011-04-12
10 minutes per side sounds too long. it will make the meat dry and tough

There are many ways to waste a great chunk of meat because you don't really know how to cook it. Each part of beef requires specific time and cooking manner. Such recipes give the right way to get the result you can expect from the raw meat you've bought.
Posted 2011-04-13
can't I just throw it in the slow cooker and be done with it
Posted 2011-04-14
Thickness would be good to consider. Also, what how high the burner should be to sear. Also take precaution if you are on a gas range.

The tenderloin is the cut from the animal's middle. It is the most tender cut of meat on the cow, and that's the reason why it's called tenderloin. It is somewhat expensive, but it's really worth it!
