Sourced from the finest farms in Ireland, this beef tenderloin stands out for its absolute tenderness and an exceptionally fine grain. Barely used by the animal, this muscle offers a melting, almost buttery mouthfeel, complemented by the herbaceous notes typical of Irish pastures.
At Allaert Meat, we hand-select and trim every piece to guarantee a clean cut, completely free of silverskin, and ready to be seared. To preserve its juiciness, I recommend a quick pan-sear in foaming butter, followed by a few minutes of resting under a sheet of aluminum foil. Serve it blue or rare, simply enhanced with a pinch of fleur de sel and a twist of black pepper.
When you choose a cut of meat at Allaert, you're not just buying meat; you're participating in a legacy. Each cut is hand-selected by our master butchers, guaranteeing that only the very best reaches your table.

Hand-cut and precision
We prioritize animals from carefully managed farms, raised on a controlled diet with respect for their natural growth cycle. This yields beautifully marbled, consistent, and flavorful meat that retains its tenderness when cooked. Each cut is selected for its reliable quality, texture, and authentic beef flavor.
Irish cattle benefit from rich pastures and a damp climate that is ideal for grass growth. This gives the tenderloin, already naturally the most tender muscle of the beef, a buttery texture and a very subtle herbaceous flavor—less pronounced than a ribeye, but of great delicacy.
Always take your meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the fibers to relax at room temperature and prevents a thermal shock in the pan. This guarantees a tender, juicy center and an even cook.
This very lean cut of meat does not tolerate overcooking. I recommend searing it over high heat in a mixture of oil and butter to create a beautiful caramelized crust thanks to the Maillard reaction. Then, serve it 'blue' or 'rare'.
Resting is an essential technical step. By letting the meat rest under aluminum foil for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking, the juices that have concentrated in the center due to the heat will redistribute evenly throughout all the fibers. This ensures your tenderloin is perfectly juicy when sliced.
As a butcher, I advise you to salt the cut generously just before placing it in the pan. The salt helps to form the crust. On the other hand, save the pepper for the end of the cooking process to prevent it from burning in the pan and developing an unpleasant bitter taste.
No, it is one of the leanest cuts of beef. Unlike a bone-in ribeye or an entrecôte, the tenderloin has virtually no intramuscular fat, also known as marbling. Its gastronomic value lies entirely in its extreme tenderness and the fine grain of the meat.
