Questions, answered

What is a New York Sour?

A whiskey sour with a float of red wine on top. Here, balsamic stands in for the wine.

How do I know when the tenderloin is done?

Use a thermometer: 130°F in the center for medium-rare, 140°F for medium. It rises a few degrees as it rests.

Can I marinate it overnight?

Stick to 4 to 6 hours. The lemon and vinegar can make the surface mushy if it sits too long.
