Tenderloin

I've got a couple of filets and the trimmings from a tenderloin
thawing. The filets I can handle but what would you do with all the
trimmings. Seems a shame to pot roast 'em. If lesser cuts become fork-
tender would tenderloin just pouf-away? The same with a chili-style
dish. With all the chili seasonings would you know or care that you
were eating tenderloin? Maybe some sort of pure hash with a little
onion but no potatoes would do? I'm at a loss. Any tasty recipes
tickle your fancy? Tks

In this kitchen they would no doubt end up in some kind of stirfry.
If that doesn't appeal, do you have enough to do a stroganoff-type
treatment? Quick sauté and a pan sauce.... -aem

Stir fry or, like, beef tips and rice with gravy.

Good suggestions. Or even in a curry.

I've got some tenderloin leftovers in the freezer and I'm planning to
make them into fahitas in the very near future. Since they're already
in small pieces they should cook up nicely and make wonderfully tender
Mexican food.

Kabobs. They wont need long cooking to be tender, which is a problem
with most meat sold for kabobs.

Yes and thanks. I've got enough to do stroganoff and beef tips with a
breather in between. Kabobs were also suggested; I'm not into
kabobbing without a grill, but with tenderloin stovetop might do.

Hmmmmm. Might try kabobbing on the stovetop. Never have before but
tenderloin doesn't need much heat anyway. Thanks.

Our usual routine is to make Beef Stroganoff. Make a mild veloute sauce,
flavor
with dill and a tiny bit of tomato paste. Add a bit of madeira. Form and
bake pastry shells with Pepperidge Farms puff pasty sheets. Don't use pasta
of any kind. Heat up the sauce to a mild simmer, and throw in the
tenderloin pieces Immediately before serving. The meat should be rare, very
rare. Serve with an old red Bordeaux. Stroganoff is frequently better than
the original filet.
Happy New Year,

Alton Brown recommends making cheese steak sandwiches:
