Also known as the filet mignon roast, the whole tenderloin brings amazing flavor and fork-tender texture to your special occasion table. Although the tenderloin is generally a lean cut, our American Wagyu version has a surprising amount of marbling.

This roast is the entire beef tenderloin that can be prepared whole for a memorable meal with a gathering of special guests. There is also the option to cut this American Wagyu tenderloin into individual filet mignon steaks. The flavor profile of this unique roast features the butter-like flavor and texture associated with Japanese Wagyu beef combined with the hearty traditional flavor preferred by the American palate.

Average weight: 4.5 lbs.

This is a natural product, and the actual weight may vary by +/- .5 lb. 

Completely thaw the roast. All Snake River Farms roasts ship frozen to maintain optimal quality. A completely frozen roast can take several days to thaw, so plan ahead.

Remove the roast from the fridge one hour before it is scheduled to go in the oven. This will help the roast cook evenly. 

The tenderloin is relatively small in diameter and will cook quickly. A reverse sear method is an excellent way to ensure the roast stays pink and tender from edge to edge. 

Rest your roast for 20 to 30 minutes after it’s pulled from the oven. The resting time allows the natural juices to be reabsorbed instead of running out onto your cutting board.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

How much beef tenderloin per person

Eight ounces of cooked tenderloin roast per person is a good serving size. If your table includes more robust appetites or if you want to plan for leftovers, add extra servings to your calculations. Boneless roasts will shrink about 20% in the cooking process.

Reviews

I fix the Wagyu whole

"I fix the Wagyu whole tenderloin every Christmas. I top the roast with plenty of butter (2 sticks) and onions (at least 2, sliced, sometimes slightly precooked in microwave) on a rack in pan, and cook in hot oven (preheat to 500*, turning down to 400* after putting roast in) and cook until internal temp is approx 130*/135*(rare -- usually 40+ min or so, but always checking with meat thermometer). Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest about 15 min, during which time it continues to "cook" and ends at a perfect medium rare. I do fold and tie the narrow end so that the roast is approx. the same thickness the whole length. It turns out beautifully every time. Absolutely the best whole tenderloin on the planet !!!"
