Take your ‘go-to’ stew, chili or stroganoff recipe to an entirely more delicious level with these USDA Choice tenderloin pieces. These are the succulent cuts that remain when we hand trim our popular filet mignon steaks.
Tenderloin pieces are the random-sized, tasty and tender trimmings that are left from cutting our filet mignon steaks. Fill your homecooked meals with fork-tender bites of real filet mignon. These are USDA Choice beef for a high quality ingredient you’ll want to keep on hand for making elevated home cooked meals. The size of each piece varies so we assemble these in ready-to-use one pound packages.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
