Somebody spanked the steer...? Until he was "tender"? ;D

"Butt Tender" is the large end of the Beef Tenderloin, usually running around 2-3 lbs each. Most of your big box stores will sell them in pairs in a cryovac pack.

It would command a pretty hefty price in a restaurant if they were featuring the whole butt, less if they were cutting it into steaks.

I'm leaning towards the link that Muebe posted, as I have seen them advertised on a few menu's. TMB, any idea what the price was on that Saturday night dinner?

I think Rummm's reply is correct based on an old, old, old memory of a joint where I used to eat a lot many years ago.  They had a "butt tender" in the steak section of their menu and, as I recall, it was served "for two" with separate sides.  I never had it but it was a very popular entree there.

Kinda looks like the "catfish" off a pork loin.
