What would you do with this - Tenderloin cubes

edited October 2017 in Beef
My local grocery had whole tenderloins on for a decent price so I bought 2 and cut out a nice bunch of filets from the head and middle that I will sous vide later for a party we are having near Christmas. 

But the thinner tail sections were left and I cubed it thinking I might do it on skewers. But then I thought maybe a flash fried steak tip sort of thing or try another curry or who knows. I'm not gonna do stew because I don't think the beef flavour will be there like it would be with a true braising cut. 

So I thought I would ask the forum for suggestions for what to do with this. There is about 2lbs or so. 
Thanks.

    Speedies!  Marinate overnight in Italian dressing, skewer, grill, then call and invite me over!  :triumph:

    Cant tell how big/small they are. If small, par cook some bacon, then wrap and grill hotter till 140 internal. Quick,, and  easy delicious.

    If larger, just wrap and then grill.

    About an inch square or so. 
    Thanks to both of you so far. Both sound like good choices.

    Botch's suggestion is good. They are simple, unless you make you own dressing, and great as a sandwich filing.

    I'm also partial to Mongolian satay marinade, but there aren't any off the shelf products that I know about.

    Grab some puff pastry and whip up a quick batch of duxelle, and make mini beef wellingtons.  They are one of my favourite party apps to make and eat, but they are a little labour intensive.

    Korean BBQ marinade, skewer and sear quickly.  Keep them rare/med rare inside.
    Love you bro!

    In the interest of closure. I ended up doing a Korean marinade recipe off the net. It had soy, ginger, garlic etc but it also used an apple. It was ok. Not sure I loved it but it was fine. I think I would leave the apple out. It left the meat very soft on the outside. 
     Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I really considered the mini Wellingtons. I love Beef Wellington but I wasn't up for that much work.
