From New Zealand - FRESH
Ocean Beef's Black Angus Tenderloin is a supremely and consistently tender cut of beef, raised on the green pastures of New Zealand and hand-selected to be finished on high-quality grains. This tenderloin features Wagyu-quality marbling, keeping the leaner filet tender and juicy even at higher temperatures. Trimmed of the tough side muscle, this delicious cut is ready to be broken down into delectably tender filet medallions.
Born and raised by the ocean off the coast of Canterbury, New Zealand, Ocean Beef Black Angus cattle roam freely on the lush green pastures found there, grazing on grasses and forage. Only the best cows are hand-picked for 135 days finishing on high-quality grains, developing Wagyu-quality marbling with all the benefits of pasture-raised beef. Ocean Beef is an incredible product at an incredible price, produced under strict, Japanese-style standards for cattle rearing and graded on the Japanese scale for exceptional marbling and tenderness.
- Size: Approx. 5.6 lb per loin
- Cooking Suggestions: Ocean Beef's Black Angus Tenderloin, while leaner than other cuts, still features excellent marbling that allows the meat to stay juicy and tender during cooking. The Tenderloin can be roasted whole, but is more commonly cut into filet medallions, then pan seared and butter basted with garlic and herbs.
