During its "life" ex-EWR I probably had the tenderloin 6-7 times... not once was it inedible (always able to cut it). I would say it was well-done about half the time, medium well on a few occasions, and one glorious time, a perfect medium rare "-". It's not steakhouse quality, but context matters, and it's a nice treat compared to ten ways of chicken.
