This is a whole beef tenderloin sold as a full case, representing one of the most tender and prized cuts of beef available. USDA Prime grade ensures exceptional marbling found in only the top 2% of all US beef, delivering superior juiciness and flavor. The tenderloin is sold fully peeled (PSMO - Peeled, Side Muscle On), meaning the external fat has been removed while the silver skin remains for protection during aging and cooking.

This whole tenderloin has been aged for 30+ days to enhance both tenderness and flavor development. Whole tenderloins typically weigh between 4-8 pounds and can be portioned into three distinct sections: the butt end (suitable for carpaccio due to its large diameter), the center-cut (ideal for uniform filet mignon steaks), and the tail (perfect for smaller portions or beef tips). The versatility of buying the whole tenderloin allows you to create custom cuts including filet mignon steaks, chateaubriand roasts, or beef Wellington preparations.

PSMO format means minimal trimming is required, though you will need to remove the remaining silver skin before cooking. The meat features the characteristic velvety texture and buttery tenderness that makes tenderloin the most sought-after cut. Best cooked quickly over high heat to achieve a nicely browned exterior while maintaining a juicy, medium-rare interior. Suitable for grilling, pan-searing, broiling, or roasting.
