This is a USDA Choice beef butt tenderloin sold as a full case, priced per pound. The "butt" refers to the thicker, larger end of the whole tenderloin (the psoas major muscle), while "peeled" means the silver skin, tough connective tissue, and the side chain muscle (psoas minor) have been professionally removed before packaging.

Buying a peeled tenderloin eliminates the time-consuming butchering work required with a whole unpeeled tenderloin. With the silver skin and connective tissue already removed, the meat is ready to be sliced into filet mignon steaks or roasted whole. The cleaned psoas major and iliacus "wing" muscle can be portioned into steaks of your preferred thickness. This is a full-case purchase sold by the pound, ideal for entertaining, meal prep, or stocking the freezer.
