You have me confused with the cuts. Beef Fillet is tenderloin aka Filet
mignon. Enrtecote or NY strip loins are a different cut. My brother and
his wife often buys entire beef tenderloins for about $50, and I
occasionally see one of our local grocery stores on sale for about the
same price. That is a pretty good deal because filet usually sells for
$16-22 per pound around here, and NY strips are about half that price.
