FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does raw beef tenderloin last in the fridge?
Raw beef tenderloin typically lasts 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator if stored properly in its original packaging or an airtight container.
What does the 'Select' grade mean for this steak?
USDA Select is a grade of beef that is leaner than Choice or Prime. It has less marbling (intramuscular fat), making it lower in calories but potentially less tender if overcooked.
Can I freeze raw beef tenderloin?
Yes, you can freeze it. For best results, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or use a vacuum sealer. It will maintain best quality for 6 to 12 months.
What is the best substitute for beef tenderloin?
The best substitutes are raw beef eye of round (leaner) or raw top sirloin. For a similar texture, raw ribeye can be used, though it contains significantly more fat.
Should I wash the steak before cooking?
No, you should not wash raw meat. Washing can spread bacteria around your kitchen. Instead, pat the surface dry with paper towels.
Is beef tenderloin the same as filet mignon?
Filet mignon is a specific steak cut from the smaller end of the beef tenderloin muscle.
What is the healthiest way to cook this steak?
Grilling, broiling, or pan-searing with minimal added oil are the healthiest methods to preserve the lean profile of the Select grade.
How do I know if the raw steak has gone bad?
Signs of spoilage include a sour or ammonia-like smell, a slimy or tacky texture on the surface, and a distinct grey or greenish color change.
