beef tenderloin cost
Beef tenderloin is the most expensive cut of meat on the steer. At a good butcher or supermarket, a trimmed center-cut tenderloin can run you as much as $25 to $30 per pound!But there are ways to minimize that cost. The best way is to buy the tenderloin whole and untrimmed, bring it home, and trim it yourself.t my local Whole Foods, this shaves a full $10 per pound off of the trimmed cost, which translates to about $5 per pound savings after trimming away and discarding the scrap. At stores like Costco or other big box supermarkets, you can find untrimmed tenderloin for as little as $6 a pound.
