No I did not. Is that a trick that you use? I followed Gordon Ramsay's utube video to a T. The only changes that I made was instead of a prosciutto I took some of my homemade back bacon slices and pounded them paper thin. The tenderloin that I bought was also a bit thick. I think a thinner tenderloin would have been easier to wrap. I started to trim it down but I didn't have a use for the trim and tenderloin is far too expensive to add to my sausage grind. Too be honest the juice wasn't really a problem. It was more that I didn't realize until I started to wrap the tenderloin with the puff pastry that it wasn't quite going to seal up on one corner. Go figure, once I started to bake it that corner kind of burst open. All in all a very easy dinner to make and absolutely delicious. Like any meat don't cheat on the resting phase, it really helps pull those juices back into the meat.
