Roast tenderloin with bordelaise sauce and potato gratin

[@aragusea]

Q: Why did you season the outside of the roast, when in your recent honey-mustard chicken video you argued so vociferously in favor of only seasoning the pan sauce? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXm7op6gjLhlptE A: I seasoned the outside of this roast because I did not return it cook in pan sauce (which would dissolve any exterior seasoning on the meat into the sauce anyway) and because this is not a dish in which you can count on every bite being covered in sauce. Some people might like more sauce on their slices, some people might like less, some people might not like any. Q: Why did you pronounce those French food names the way you did? A: Because I think if I affected a French accent when pronouncing French food words, I would sound like an even more insufferable tool than I already do. This is how you say these words with an American accent. When French people say American words with a French accent, we don't get all huffy; we think it's sexy. Q: Have you changed the capitalization of your video titles? A: Yes, I've decided to switch from title case to sentence case. I think title case is too formal for KZbin.

So weird that tenderloin is so expensive when it has no flavor. Feel like I want to try this with another peice of meat. Sous Vide it to get it like a tenderloin, reverse sear it, and then dump in all the juices from the bag into the pan and continue with the shallots and demi glace.

[@b0wl.]

Movie Games dude it’s called tenderloin for a reason cuz u pay for tenderness lol

[@presentmic3605]

Why are you reverse searing after having it sous vide? Cook it sous vide, searing quick and hot and thats done. Reverse searing would be bringing it up to desired temp in an oven or indirect heat and then searing it in then pan or direct heat. But sous vide does already the first part. The reason beef tenderloin is so expensive is because it is a muscle of the animal which is used rarely hence the tenderness plus its rare. The 2 things combined is pretty much the reason. The reason of this cut to he in this dish is that the sauce he used is extremly rich, the gratin is rich too, using a strong beef flavored fatty part like a ribroast would be suuuuper strong.

Taste is subjective ofcourse but I think the natural sweetness of carrots make it too similar in taste when it comes to this dish, you (or at least I) need something sharp in taste to contrast the flavors provided by the dauce, gratin and meat

I loved the idea for a potato gratin. I once served a tenderloin with mac and cheese, and I'll definitely give this a try. Do you think that waxy potatoes would ruin the taste of the gratin or would it be bearable, because I think that it might make it too much like pasta instead of potatoes?

[@aragusea]

I don't think you'd notice much difference in the taste, since the other flavors are so strong. it's mainly a textural difference. if I was gonna use red waxy potatoes, I might cover it for the first 15 minutes of cooking. That way I could cook it a little longer to tenderize the potatoes without overcooking the top.
