Whole Tenderloin
Cut from the Leg & Loin
The tenderloin is the most tender cut and is full of flavor. The whole tenderloin (about 3 lbs) has two sections: the short tenderloin (weighs 1-1.5 lbs) and the butt tenderloin (weighs 1.5-2 lbs). The whole tender has the side muscle attached. All surface fat is removed at the packer level, but the silver skin remains.
From the tenderloin, you can cut medallions (up to 1 inch), petite fillets (up to 2 inches) or you can roast the tenderloin whole. Pan sear, sauté, grill, broil, roast, or stir fry the medallions and petite fillets.
To roast whole: butterfly lengthwise, stuff, and roast to medium-rare to medium.

Le Quebecois Grain-Fed Veal Tournedos Wrapped in Bacon with Butter Poached Canadian Lobster, Creamy Polenta and Glazed Fall Vegetables |
By Frank Mirabile from Monroe Golf Club, Pittsford, NY |
Ingredients:
4 Grain Fed Veal Tournedos (3-4oz)
4 slices good smoked sliced bacon
1 live Canadian Lobster
4 baby beets
4 baby turnips
4 baby carrots
1 batch of creamy polenta (recipe below)
1 batch of Sauce Pinot Noir (recipe below)
1 batch of beurre monté (recipe below)
1 T. minced chives
2 T. canola oil
2 T. honey
Salt and Pepper
Serves 4
Ingredients for the Creamy Polenta:
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 T. butter
- ½ cup mascarpone cheese
- Serves 4
Method:
- Bring the stock, salt and pepper to a boil over high heat. Rapidly whisk in the cornmeal until incorporated.
- Lower the heat and simmer for thirty minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter and Mascarpone cheese.
- Keep warm.
Ingredients for Sauce Pinot Nior:
- 2 cups good quality pinot noir wine
- 1 fresh shallot minced
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 cups good quality veal stock or 2 cups of good veal glace
- 1 T. fresh whole unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Serves 4
Method:
- In a medium sized, thick bottom sauce pot add the wine, shallots, and thyme and bring to a simmer. Continue to
- simmer the wine gently until it has reduced to a quarter cup. Add the Veal stock and continue to reduce until proper
- sauce consistency or it coats the back of a spoon. If using the Veal glace, you will not need to reduce as long.
- Finish the sauce with salt, pepper and the whole butter. Keep warm.
To prepare the Veal:
- Portion out four, three ounce medallions of Le Québécois Grain Fed Veal. Wrap the medallions in one slice each
- of the bacon and use a toothpick to keep it in place.
To prepare the lobster:
- Bring 1 gallon of water to the boil. Place the lobster in a deep pan and pour the boiling water over. Let stand for
- five minutes. Remove the lobster from the water and let cool. When cool enough to handle break the lobster down
- reserving the claw meat, tail meat and knuckle meat. The meat will remove from the shell but still be very rare.
To prepare the beurre monté:
- 1lb of whole unsalted butter diced into cubes
- 2 T. water
Method:
- Bring the water to the simmer over medium heat. Gradually add the butter with a whisk about one tablespoon at
- a time until it is all incorporated. Keep in a warm but not hot place.
To prepare the glazed fall vegetables:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Peel both the baby turnips and baby carrots and boil them in the water
- until tender. Shock and hold. To prepare the beets simply drizzle with oil, salt and pepper and place them into a
- shallow baking pan. Cover with foil and roast for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Peel the beets while still warm and reserve.
Finishing the dish and bringing it all together:
- 1) Heat a large sauté pan on medium high. When good and hot add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to the pan.
- When the oil is hot, season the veal medallions with salt and pepper and begin to sear the bacon. Slowly and
- evenly continue to sear all around the veal medallion all around the sides with the bacon.
- 2) While you are searing place the lobster meat into the beurre monté and maintain a temperature of about 160 degrees
- Fahrenheit. Once the veal is seared on the sides, turn it over and sear the top and bottom of the meat. The meat will
- be a nice medium rare to medium once the bacon is well browned and the top and bottom of the medallion
- is seared nice.
- 3) In a small sauté pan add 1 tablespoon of whole butter and 1 tablespoon of honey. Add the turnips and carrots
- and toss to glaze. Do the same process for the beets, but in a separate pan because they will bleed.
- 4) To plate, pipe out about 3 oz of creamy polenta on a warmed plate. Remove the toothpick from the veal and place it
- atop the polenta. Lay the carrots, parsnips and beets out on the plate and remove the lobster from the beurre monté,
- it is now fully cooked. Lay the lobster on top of the vegetables and add the minced chives to the beurre monté.
- Drizzle a teaspoon around each piece of lobster. Each person gets either one claw or a half of a tail.
- 5) Drizzle about one ounce of sauce Pinot Noir over the veal and around the polenta.
- 6) The dish is complete and ready to enjoy. The portion size can be increased as needed, what is represented
- here would be great as part of a four course meal.
