Fillet

Goat fillet (tenderloin) is the small, very tender psoas muscle—mild, lean, and expensive per kilo because yield is low. Flavour is the gentlest expression of goat; cook hot and fast and stop at medium-rare to medium so it stays juicy. Sear medallions or roast the whole small muscle briefly. Butter baste if desired. No long braise needed—this cut is already tender. Sauce lightly so the meat still tastes like itself.
