Remove from the oven and allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before you slice it. |
Expect some carryover cooking while the meat rests.
The internal temperature will go up by as much as 5° F.
Therefore if you want medium rare, remove the tenderloin from the oven at 130° F and watch the temperature rise while resting.
By resting it, you will allow the juices in the meat (that rise to the surface while cooking) to redistribute and you'll serve a juicier piece of fillet.
