If you’re a self-professed beef aficionado, you know that tenderloin is a cut above. As the name suggests, it’s naturally buttery and tender (yet low in fat!), making it a totally elegant main course no matter how you choose to cook it. Butter-baste with herbs and aromatics, roast and serve with a creamy horseradish sauce, or pair it with our succulent shrimp for an extra-luxe surf-and-turf meal. MEAT dinnertime’s new secret weapon. *Nutrient values are representative of a 5 oz serving*

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: When the cut is good, the tenderloin is buttery, juicy, and full of flavor — many compare it favorably to restaurant-quality filet mignon.
  • Ease of prep: Quick to cook in a skillet with just salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil; some found grilling or the air fryer worked equally well.
  • Suggestions: Season generously and consider a garlic or truffle rub for deeper flavor; use a slow cooker with potatoes and carrots for a hands-off, fork-tender result 🍲.
  • Leftovers: Leftover tenderloin slices beautifully into sandwiches, French dips, or stir-fry the next day.
  • Consistency: Filet sizes are often uneven, making it hard to cook both pieces to the same doneness — pull the thinner piece out a few minutes early. Some batches have had excess gristle or silver skin that needed trimming before cooking.

Excellent steaks! Quick and easy to cook. I use them when I have to double the recipe because my youngest son decides to do laundry at the house and stay for dinner. Also, nice for Sunday breakfast, steak and eggs. I am so happy they are available to purchase. The only thing I don't like is the size difference of the tenderloin. When one is larger than the other, makes it difficult to cook together.

Love your Tenderloin. Used this for Valentine's Day the next week. Paired with Asparagus & homemade scalloped potatoes. Drizzled some Creamed out A1 sauce on the Tenderloin, but honestly didn't need it. It is a flavorful cut of meat on its own!

I grilled these alongside a 2 ribeyes and 2 sirloin steaks and these were the best out of the 3. Flavor is great and they were so tender

Put in slow cooker with potatoes and carrots. Dinner was ready when we got home from work. Super tender. Delicious. Great for weeknight or Sunday lunch.

Great tenderness. I use truffle black garlic seasoning. My sister is used to our dad's outdoor grilling. This was just as good, perhaps better...leaving pink in middle. Super tender and delicious

Good flavored beef. This is probably the Argentinian variety, which is slightly tougher than what I am used to in the US, but likely a better environment for the animal. Still very good, not really all that tough.

Very tender. It was a hit with my husband. I used my own spice and sauteed spiced onions and peppers to serve on top.

Two pieces of tenderloin arrived. After trimming the large mass of fat from one of them, there was hardly any meat left. Hence, it was not enough for two people. Why do that to us?

Love the tender meat and instructions that make it come out perfectly. I'm not a big meat eater, but this is the best.
