Beef Tenderloin Tail - Recipe please

[Lillydu]

I purchased a whole beef tenderloin from Costco for Christmas dinner. I realized before I cooked it that there was too much meat for us, so I cut off the tail and another loose piece and froze it. So, does anyone have a good recipe for me that I can use with these pieces. I need to replace the batteries in my food scale, but I think there's about 2 pounds.

I buy filet tails all the time(such a good deal) and I sear them on a cast iron grill pan(evoo, s&p) and top it with a puttanesca sauce.

Fajitas! Yum:)

Another option, Cook's Illustrated recommends using tenderloin for their Beef Stroganoff recipe. The tail end is great b/c you only need small pieces and flavor/texture changes from freezing shouldn't be too noticeable in Stroganoff.

Use versions of stroganoff that require quickly cooking the meat, not a long stew.

picked up some filet on manager's special (was about to go out of date and since i shop daily i often hit a bonanza in my butcher's section!) and made this - was lovely - in my opinion, but the reviews on epicurious are allover the place!

Yes Paul..that is why I recommended the Cooks Illustrated version...it is quick and calls for filet/tenderloin and takes about 20 minutes to cook.

I cut the small pieces in "chunks" and pound them thin between pieces of plastic wrap. Cook these "minute steaks" quickly in a cast iron pan for excellent steak sandwiches.
