I usually buy a whole beef tenderloin for Xmas dinner I haven’t priced them yet this year you guys are making me a little nervous about sticker shock

Last whole choice tenderloin I bought a few weeks ago was $14.99 # and it was trimmed. The following week they had whole untrimmed primes on sale for $17.99 #. My wife and daughter wouldn't know the difference between the two.

You just buy it and don't worry about the price. Can't give up your tradition. I have never bought a whole beef tenderloin, but I suppose that's the next logical step for me.


How do you cook yours?? I'd like to get one for some really special occasion. I look at them every time I go to Costco. Much easier to find prime grade tenderloin than prime grade ribeye where I shop.

Bacon wrapped and stuffed.
How to BBQ right channel has a video that I use for venison backstrap, works the same for beef tenderloin. It's delicious

Salt, pepper, and no more than medium rare.

That is exactly how I like my ribeye! I want the full beef flavor. Do you slice your tenderloins into steaks or just cook the whole lion as one big piece? I feel like I could eat a whole tenderloin by myself if its really good.

We have got a whole beef tenderloin for Christmas several times. Always cooked it as 1 piece and then cut steaks after. People who want medium can have an end piece. Rare from the center.
