CHEF'S KNIFE TIP:

When trimming excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin, use your chef's knife to make precise cuts along the surface of the meat. This helps ensure that the tenderloin cooks evenly on the grill and allows the herb rub to adhere more effectively. Additionally, when slicing the rested tenderloin into thick pieces, use a sharp chef's knife to achieve clean, uniform slices for a visually appealing presentation.
