Overcooking can ruin the Tenderloin Steak

When it comes to some of the most expensive and popular meats, then the top winner would surely be the tenderloin steak. A tenderloin steak is mostly served in fine- dining restaurants and is considered to be a classic choice for a main dish. Made from beef’s meat, this type of a steak is carved out from the tenderloin or the part of short loin primal. The tenderloin is perhaps the most soft and tender part in beef meats, hence the name. There are also other steaks available like chateaubriand, filet mignon and more.

Although nothing can really beat the taste of good beef tenderloin, however, owing to the hesitancy towards proper beef, many restaurants instead substitute it with buffalo meat. But certain states like Mumbai and Bangalore do serve authentic beef, so one can find this dish in some of the more elite lounges and bars in Mumbai and Bangalore.


One can even make this dish at home, only due to the pricey nature of the meat; the preparation must not be rushed and carried out in a proper manner. There are several different ways to cook this type of steak, that is, one can either keep it rare, medium rare or quite well done. Though one has to keep this in mind that the more it cooks the more it loses its juiciness and soft quality.

That is why, it is extremely necessary, that one should keep a check on how exactly the tenderloin steak is being cooked. Tenderloin is a lean cut and also the most tender part of any. That is why; overcooking can ruin the dish, since the lack of fats will turn the meat dry and tough. Overcooking must be at all costs avoided, as it can completely alter the taste and texture of the meat.
