Filet Mignon, the most tender piece of meat on the cow, comes from the aptly named Tenderloin, a long thin strip that bisects two primals – the Sirloin and the Shortloin. Filets are cut from the smaller (forward) end of the tenderloin, where the meat is at its most tender – and most prized. On average, a full Black Angus cattle only yields about one pound of filet mignon, making it a particularly coveted cut.
For centuries, Uruguay has been at the forefront of sustainable cattle ranching, long before “sustainability” became a buzzword. Sitting atop one of the largest freshwater aquifers on Earth and free of environmental pollution, its vast pastures are the perfect environment for raising cattle. Here, we partner with small family farms, where gauchos meticulously care for both their herds of Black Angus cattle and the treasured pastures they graze on. The cattle spend their entire lives grazing exclusively on this nutrient rich grass. The end product is a rich and tender beef, leaner than its grain-finished counterpart and high in Omega-3 fatty acids.

The grass-fed tenderloin was one of the best I have ever cooked. I highly recommend it!
Amazing tenderloin
Excellent cut of beef! Virtually fat-free. Shipping and packing was great!
Ordered four tenderloin roasts for Christmas dinner to make three Beef Wellingtons and one Chateaubriand. Was my first time making any of these recipes and everything turned out great. The beef had just the right amount of flavor and arrived well-trimmed. After breaking it down I had three center-cut roasts, about 12 nice tenderloin steaks and a bunch of extra trimmings to use for fond for a wine sauce and to make fajitas the next day.
I usually splurge on prime beef for Christmas dinner but the cost for four prime center cut tenderloin roasts was pretty crazy. A person that I talked to at Rastelli's said these were also prime, but I don't see how that's possible at this price, so I'm not sure. Regardless, they were very good and I would not hesitate to purchase them again.
