Best to Buy

Look for tenderloin steak that has a clear, red color and is firm to the touch. Make sure to buy it on or before the “sell by” date on the package (the last day it should be offered for sale).

Prep & Store

Refrigerate tenderloin steak in its original packaging for up to four days or freeze it up to two weeks.

Tasty Tip

Tenderloin steak should be cooked by dry-heat methods—try broiling, grilling, or pan-broiling—to a tender medium 160°F (71°C).

Quick & Easy Recipe

Brush tenderloin steak lightly with oil and grill 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. Turn once and remove when it reaches the desired degree of doneness.
