- Choose high-quality beef filet for the best results. Look for cuts that are well-marbled and have a vibrant red color.
- Prepare all ingredients and equipment before you start cooking to ensure a smooth process.
- Use a meat thermometer to achieve your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent and flavorful bite.
- Be mindful of the sugar content in the glaze to avoid burning; a slow and steady reduction is key.
