We here in Canada celebrate Thanksgiving a full month ahead of the US holiday. Here is a great revelation we discovered this year. Instead of the traditional roast, fried or smoked turkey, try a beef tenderloin roast.
There are many virtues to the substitution of the main thanksgiving protein. First and foremost is time. With a nice tenderloin, you can reclaim your Thanksgiving sports viewing time. You go from 0 to 60 in about 3 hours, all in: prep time, cooking, resting and carving time!
Tenderloin has a great beefy texture, but other than that, it lacks substantial flavour. So, to make this a paleo delicacy, we wrapped it in herbs, and slices of bacon. Count on about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of tenderloin per person.
This Thanksgiving, give some thanks and drink some red wine. The tenderloin matches pinot noirs, cabs, pretty much any red wine.
