Beef Tenderloin |
 |
|
|
This has many uses.
We have served it as a featured party dish, with sauce and rolls.
It is also excellent as a main course for a fancy dinner.
It can be sliced cold into filet mignons. |
The cut of meat is a beef tenderloin.
We have paid as little as $10.49 or as much as $17.99 per pound.
A full tenderloin is between 5-9 pounds, so it can run over $150 for a piece.
There is little waste.
This lean meat produces no gravy, but a little essence or Au Jus. This can be combined with sautéed mushrooms and sautéed onions for a side dish.
