Cooking Tips

• For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef tenderloin in the balsamic glaze overnight before cooking.
• If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can simmer the remaining liquid from the slow cooker in a saucepan until it reduces and thickens.
• Make sure to let the beef rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover beef tenderloin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the sliced beef in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
• Serve the reheated beef with additional balsamic glaze and your favorite side dishes.
