Tonight's dinner was a first. I have never had filet tails. I salt and peppered them. I seared in avocado oil (due to high smoke point) and placed in 400 degree oven for a few short minutes to medium temp. I served with roasted asparagus and new potatoes. The drink of choice tonight was Zerba Barbera, delicious red wine. I am a fan of the tails and will def do again.They tasted wonderful, were very tender and hubby was pleased!
For the life of me I can't figure out why my pics keep turning sideways!!

That looks great. Where does one get a filet tail?

Looks great. What exactly is a FM tail? the end of it, posteriorly, or aft?
Did not know there was a big difference in flavor/taste.
BTW, I-Crap is prolly responsible for your "drunken" pics.

I wanted to try aged beef so I ordered from Flannery's online. They have a section called "helluva deal". There are several good deals (I think) and the FM tails were listed. I thought I'd give them a try and was impressed. I feel like the value is there, given that they are much less expensive than the usual FM. I rec you try them. They are best served this way (chateaubraind style) per Bryan Flannery.The tail is exactly that-the end but not sure about WHICH end. It's the part that they cant get a "perfect" filet from so they sell as tailsI also snagged wagyu sliders which I can eats as-is, double (2.5 oz apiece) to a reg burger, make meatloaf etc.I think pic issue MIGHT be that I turn phone vertically to take pics sometimes. Both sets I have posted recently were done that way.I bet if I keep horizontally, I will end upright!!!LBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA

Filet Mignon is the small end of the tenderloin primal anyway (the end toward the head - the tenderloin gets bigger as it moves to the rear). The small "tail" appears to be the piece that some places cut double-width and then butterfly to get a decent diameter filet mignon. That piece is arguably the best part of the primal so to be able to pick it up at a bargain price is fantastic!Look at the "beef cuts" diagram to get an idea where the tail is:

We always buy whole terderloin at Costco. Cut the big end into steaks and cut the tail as piece by itself.

It looks wonderful!It will make uploading iphone pictures easier if you always take them with the phone turned sideways with the home button to the right (volume buttons down).Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
