Beef Tenderloin and Filet Mignon

You can purchase a beef tenderloin whole, or as individual filet mignons. Buying a whole beef tenderloin roast is more cost effective to the consumer. Each beef tenderloin has a different weight but on average weigh about 6.5 pounds.

Purchasing the whole piece saves money. Whole tenderloin has a significant amount of trim and waste. When trimmed and sold as filets and individually cut steaks, the price increases due to the loss of the trim.

Here at Eckerlin Meats we are happy to trim and tie your tenderloin so that it’s ready to go in the oven.

What about the trim? We’ll grind it for you. Make some burger, meatballs, chili, or meatloaf, whatever sounds good.

Just cooking for two? No problem. Another way to get tenderloin is to purchase center cut steaks.

Referred to as filets or filet mignon, these steaks are guaranteed to impress. Filets are completely trimmed of fat.
