Harris Ranch Barrel-Cut filet is a natural grass fed beef that is both lean and antibiotic free. It has a very clean and refreshing flavor, that is perhaps one of the finest cuts of meat on the market, and falls into the healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Barrel Cut is the center cut of the Tenderloin which is the leanest cut available on the Beef Tenderloin.
Serve with Thyme Scented Pinot Noir Buerre Rouge.
