Spanish term

Puntas de solomillo

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
I have a couple of menu items to translate, referring to meat. "Puntas de solomillo, secreto ibérico, lagartos, pluma, picaña." I know we are permitted one term at a time but as they are quite similar, I wonder whether we could discuss them all at once in form of comparison? Thanks.

El filet mignon es la punta y parte mas delgada del solomillo.
neilmac Mar 4, 2018:
@Rachel Maybe they use the middle part for something else? :-)
neilmac Mar 4, 2018:
@Sarah While we're on the subject of meat, for future reference, bear in mind that when they offer you a "filete" in Spain, you won't get a fillet steak or a port fillet/tenderloin, but a cheaper cut.
Rachel Fell Mar 4, 2018:
@Neil: yes, but I doubt anyone's going to use only both end pieces of a tenderloin, it's tender all the way along in any case; oh, update: see ref. below!
neilmac Mar 4, 2018:
@Rachel "Punto" just means the end or tip, and pork fillets (solomillo de cerdo) do tend to taper off at each end. However, most of the references found online for "solomillo" are for beef.
Rachel Fell Mar 4, 2018:
Thanks In pork the "solomillo" doesn't really have any "puntos", I'd have thought; maybe you could insert an adjective instead.

Pork, I am told
David Hollywood Mar 4, 2018:
I would go with "tenderloin" for "solomillo"

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomillo
Lo propio se hace también con la totalidad del solomillo de cerdo, al ser éste pequeño y alargado. En Estados Unidos con la expresión francesa filet mignon se designa al solomillo incluso en su parte central, pero en inglés es más apropiado y exacto llamar al solomillo tenderloin; palabra que resulta inequívoca, a la vez ...

Hello Is it pork or beef?

tenderloin tips

Calificación: 3,2 - ‎8 opiniones - ‎Calorías: 270
9 feb. 2011 - This is a cross between a traditional beef stroganoff and a quick-cooking stew, with plenty of room for adjustment: Add extra mustard, use fewer herbs, go with more red wine and less beef broth, or skip the brandy and use more broth. Consider the recipe a starting point. If you can find tenderloin tips ...

Fillet steak /filet mignon

Fillet steak is the most lean and tender of all the steaks. The fillet tail or tip is usually cut off and used for dishes such as stroganoff, or can be flattened for sandwich steaks. The butt end is normally for Cheateaubriand, while the centre cut fillet is the prime part of the fillet and often the most expensive.
Picaña (Picanha rump steak), otherwise known as the top sirloin cap, is a succulent and tender cut from the rump that is extremely popular and prized in South America.
NB: I think you should post "secreto ibérico, lagartos, pluma,...) as separate queries, as otherwise it will end up TLDR.

And it doesn't matter if we're talking about pork or beef, my answer is still "fillet", as in pork fillet.
Wikipedia dixit: "The pork tenderloin, also called pork fillet, is a long thin cut of pork."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_tenderloin
Example sentence:

You may have heard people refer to beef tenderloin and its steak cousin filet mignon, but what's the difference between these terms?

neutral Rachel Fell : it's pork, though

So "pork fillet". DH's refs are for beef too. The gist of my post is that "solomillo" is not wholly synonymous with tenderloin. Nor, for example, is a "filete" in Spanish a fillet steak. I'm also trying to address the asker's other queries...

it seems that the tips of pork tenderloin may be more juicy, though the recipe can also be made using the whole of the tenderloin sliced or in medallions.


Gracias a Mariló Parejo, en el día de hoy, sábado 29 (sin que sea ya día de los Inocentes y os tenga que decir que el Bar Molletes era una pequeña bromita), vamos a hacernos unas ricas puntas de solomillo con salsa de pimienta. Según nos comenta, este mismo plato lo podemos hacer con medallones de solomillo, pero ella prefiere las puntas por ser más jugosas.

https://molletesyhambreymicerveza.com/2012/12/29/puntas-de-s...

Cortamos el solomillo en medallones de 1 cm aprox. y lo secamos muy bien con papel de cocina para que pierda toda la humedad.

agree neilmac : OK, but "The pork tenderloin, also called pork fillet." I'm sticking to my suggestion.

Thanks Neil, I've always known it as pork fillet, but as some people refer to other cuts as pork fillet, I use "tenderloin" when there's a need to be specific.
