Wash the fillet and pat it dry. Use a sharp knife to remove the chain. The chain or silver skin runs laterally along the meat piece. It makes the meat hard and therefore it needs to be removed. Also remove the sinew on the top of the of meat. Then, all around, the fat remainders need to get removed.
Cutting off the head
Cut off the tenderloin's head. The head and fillets are processed into Boeuf Stroganoff.
