Tips and questions
How do I know the tenderloin is done?
Take it out at 63 °C in the centre and let it rest 5 minutes: it will be juicy and slightly pink. Past 70 °C it dries out quickly.
Why did the glaze burn?
Honey burns easily. Brown the meat first and brush on the glaze only for the oven stage, adding a splash of stock to the pan if it darkens too fast.
What should I serve it with?
Mashed potatoes, roast carrots or a green salad all work well with the honey and mustard sauce.
