Description

Now that’s one big filet mignon! The most tender beef roast that is well known for being lean and succulent. Easy to carve and fine in texture

This is the most lean, tender part of the animal, there also isn’t that much of it per steer which is why its so expensive and coveted. There are only two tenderloins per steer and its where we get high-end items such as filet mignon and its a key component of the T-Bone and porterhouse. 

Buying the whole tenderloin means you can get the three cuts, the butt, the center-cut, and the tail. The butt end is usually suitable for carpaccio, as the eye can be quite large; cutting a whole tenderloin into steaks of equal weight will yield proportionally very thin steaks from the butt end. The center-cut is suitable for portion-controlled steaks, as the diameter of the eye remains relatively consistent.
