Tenderloin

Bake or grill this Rose Beef Tenderloin whole or cut it into filet steaks and grill. Each tenderloin is 2-3 lbs.

The tenderloin is the most tender cut and is full of flavor. The whole tenderloin (about 3 lbs) has two sections: the short tenderloin (weighs 1-1.5 lbs) and the butt tenderloin (weighs 1.5-2 lbs). The whole tender has the side muscle attached. All surface fat is removed at the packer level, but the silver skin remains.

From the tenderloin, you can cut medallions (up to 1 inch), petite fillets (up to 2 inches) or you can roast the tenderloin whole. Pan sear, sauté, grill, broil, roast, or stir fry the medallions and petite fillets.

To roast whole: butterfly lengthwise, stuff, and roast to medium-rare to medium.
