Beef Tenderloin versus Beef Tenderloin Butt

[Brad Smith]

Hi - I was in the store shopping for the Christmas Beef Tenderloin. I noticed there was a Tenderloin (which I have cooked in the past) and something I hadn't seen before, a Beef Tenderloin Butt. Is this the same thing with the "tail" cut-off? It was approximately the same price, am I better doing 2 of these Butts?

Is it the same thing just without the tail? Thanks!

Yes. It is the front large end of the tenderloin. Less waste.

If I'm not mistaken that's where the chateaubriand steak is cut from.
