Tenderloin steak is cut from the tenderloin.

The tenderloin is the most expensive piece of beef meat. The weight depends on the type of slaughter animal and a whole hare ranges from just under 2 to 4 pounds. The meat is excellent when roasted whole, but is generally processed into tenderloin steaks. When the tenderloin is roasted whole it is often stuffed (piqued) with strips of fresh fat bacon.

The bacon can also be threaded lengthwise through the meat, the so-called larding. This keeps the meat inside a lot juicier.

A whole tenderloin is usually baked in the oven. Hare steak is quickly grilled or baked over high heat.
