Beef Tenderloin Steak

If you've come looking for the most high-end cut of beef, you've found it! Sure, it's got a high-end price tag to match, but we're willing to bet it'll only take you one bite of this luxurious cut to know it's worth it. For anyone who hasn't yet tried beef tenderloin, the idea of beef melting in your mouth might seem like colorful exaggeration, but we're here to tell you that it's pretty accurate. With a lavish cut like this one, you'll want to be extra careful to cook it to the right temperature so you won't end up with an expensive disappointment. To fully experience the buttery tenderness that makes this piece of meat so special, cook low and slow with MEATER as your guide, and then hit it with a quick reverse sear to get a hint of crunch on the outside for a texture contrast that'll blow your mind. A cut of beef this classy deserves side dishes that are just as sophisticated. Sautéed vegetables will add color to your plate, and you can do your own elevated take on beef and potatoes with a garlic and herb mash or some cheesy scalloped potatoes. On your next cook, after you've had a chance to live the high life with your fancy steak, take it a step further with one of the incredible sauces from our recipe menu. You won't want a wine that might overpower the more subtle flavor of the beef, so milder reds like pinot noir are a good idea.
