Herb-Marinated Tenderloin

Submitted by: Sam Baderdeen

Living In: Matlock, Washington, USA

Tenderloin (sometimes called filet mignon) is the king of steaks. It's lean, tender, can add any wanted flavor to it and it will absorb it all, and you can cut it with a butter knife. This is expensive though so only cook this once in a while.
