Beef tenderloin
Beef tenderloin is a particularly tender beef cut commonly roasted, grilled, or prepared as steaks.
About Beef tenderloin
Beef tenderloin is the long, comparatively lean muscle located beneath the loin of cattle. It is commonly sold whole, as medallions, or as filet steaks, and is often trimmed of surface fat and connective tissue before cooking. It may be pan-seared, grilled, roasted, or prepared as steaks.
The meat has a fine texture, mild beef flavour, and little internal connective tissue. Smaller portions cook quickly, while a whole tenderloin may be roasted and served in slices. Cooking temperature and doneness alter tenderness, moisture, firmness, and the intensity of its flavour.
Tenderloin appears as a long, relatively uniform muscle before cutting and as compact medallions or steaks after portioning. It may be sold trimmed or untrimmed, whole or portioned. Trimming changes the visible surface, while cooking changes colour, firmness, and moisture.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Match the reference to beef tenderloin medallions, steaks, or roast, with trimming and raw or cooked state specified. Roasting, grilling, or pan-searing changes moisture, while oil, butter, marinades, and sauces contribute separately. Bone, wrapping, and stuffed preparations should be excluded or documented.
Compare the right form: Use a reference for raw or cooked beef tenderloin with the same trimmed edible portion and steak or roast presentation.
Diet considerations
Beef tenderloin is an animal-derived cattle cut. Plain tenderloin differs from preparations with butter, cream sauces, marinades, breading, or stuffed fillings; cereal ingredients may enter through coatings or accompaniments. Portion size and sides such as potatoes, bread, or grains determine the broader carbohydrate pattern.
