I have made this twice now!! So delish !! qq- the first time I made it I made one big, fat roll and it took over an hour and a half to cook all the way through. Second time rolled each tenderloin by itself. That only took 45 mins to cook both. I’m curious what type If oven you have that cooks the whole thing in one roll for 25 mins ?? Let me know!! Thanks for a new dish to start 2020 off strong!! Xoxo, Christine
Glad you love this recipe too! I have a Miele oven. It’s awesome. XO!
This was SOOOOO yummy and I looked like a superstar cook! It did take 60 minutes to come to 145 but fine by me! Thank you for making it fun and yet still easy.
You ARE a superstar! It really is so good. Xx
