A beef tenderloin is a large cut of very tender and lean beef from which a filet mignon is sliced. Located near the cow’s backbone, this muscle is rarely used, making it one of the most tender cuts of beef. A tenderloin is mostly used for large elegant recipes like the Beef Wellington or beef roast.
