In the U.S., if you say "eye filet," (or fillet), people might think
"eye of round," as that is the only cut of beef I'm familiar with
which uses the word "eye." And eye of round is tasteless and
tough....not at all like a tenderloin. ;-)

Agreed. That is a tenderloin., it would be confused with an eye round.
