Description
This beef tenderloin is the same cut tender-meat lovers look for, here in a slightly larger format: 5 to 5.5 lb, built for anyone cooking for a bigger table or wanting leftovers for the next day. It is a lean cut, with no visible sinew or fat, and it gives way almost without resistance when chewed, even cooked to medium, which makes it forgiving for anyone still learning to cook premium beef.

Being a larger piece, it is especially good roasted whole in the oven at moderate heat and seared at the end, giving even slices to serve several people at once. It can also be cut into medallions for the pan or threaded onto skewers with vegetables. Whatever the method, pull it off the heat as soon as it reaches the desired doneness and let it rest before slicing so it does not lose its juices. For an even result, it helps to use a kitchen thermometer and pull it from the oven at around 125 to 130°F at the center, since the temperature keeps climbing a few degrees during the rest. Being a large piece, thaw it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before cooking, never left out at room temperature on the counter.
It arrives frozen as a single 5 to 5.5 lb piece, easy to keep in the freezer and portion out as needed. Given its size, it is a solid choice for cooking for a large group or for anyone who would rather buy premium beef less often and in a larger amount each time, freezing the rest in smaller portions.
