How to Cut a Beef Tenderloin:
1 purchase, 10 steaks. The tenderloin is often cut into smaller portions, like filet mignon or Chateaubriand, but can also be cooked whole. To be inspired on how to use the whole tenderloin, see our video below where Scott explains how to trim and cut a whole tenderloin into several cooking options.
What is a tenderloin?
A tenderloin comes from the loin that runs along the spine. They’re one of the most tender and lean cuts available. The tenderness of this cut comes from the fact that the muscle it is derived from does very little work. You can expect a buttery texture and mild flavor from a tenderloin, making them a popular choice for high-end dishes and special occasions. Because of its tenderness, tenderloins are often cooked with minimal seasoning to let their natural flavor shine.
