About This Cut

When you want to cook a show-stopper of a meal without all the fuss, tenderloin is your to-go. It’s lean, succulent, and – let’s face it – a pretty impressive option when you’re cooking for guests. Prepare in on the grill, in a skillet, sous vide, or under the broiler. With this easy-to-carve cut, you can’t go wrong. Thinly sliced, it’s amazing on a salad.
