Butcher's Tenderloin
Type of dish: Beef
Number of persons: 4

The tenderloin is typically a piece of meat that the butcher used to keep for himself. This 'hanger steak' is also known as the 'butcher's tenderloin'. It looks a bit weird, there is a big sore in it and it has a coarse structure so it doesn't sell very well. But the butcher, and we, know better! It is a real working muscle that is bursting with flavour and, unlike many working meats, can be grilled very well. The French serve it classically with shallots-red wine sauce, but a powerful bourbon sauce looks just as good on it.
