It was a huge piece of meat.

Notable mistakes.
-should have seared the meat longer
-should have cooked duxelle down more
-both of these mistakes made the base of the pasty not cook, which is clear when I cut it.
-5 minutes less in the oven, pasty was a bit over done.
-perhaps trim the filet so it’s more manageable

Over all I loved the taste, I’ll give it another go around the holidays

    Could you also have cut these into steaks & cooked em like that ?

    That’s a fantastic first attempt, and you learned from it! You’re gone knock the next one outta the park.

    Man, I never understood eating filet wrapped in bread and it doesn’t appeal to me, but yours looks great! Well done👍🏻✌🏻

    I do know one thing. That’s a great price for filet. In upstate NY that would cost 180.00 easy.

    Is this the American Test Kitchen version?

    Interesting the packaging says it’s trimmed, but I can see that the tenderloin has the chain attached.

    Looks like you cut it through before searing, and finishing the rest of the steps.

    Overall great job!! A lot of techniques are involved in this recipe, and it’s not easy at all! So I applaud you for your end result, and also knowing areas you could improve on!
