Impressive cooking

If filet mignon is the king of steaks, then it’s only right to call beef tenderloin the king of roasts.

It is, without doubt, one of the most tender and rich cuts of beef out there. You will also find it’s insanely easy to prepare.

Just follow Chef Federico Teresi’s — of Leonardo, Stella di Mare Hotel — recipe and you are good to go.

Be sure to relish every bite — you can thank the chef and us later.
