the quick tour of beef for runnerduck: the fattier it is, the more tender it is. also, the more calories there are. the exception is filet mignon which is taken from a part of the cow that gets very little exercise. it's very lean [unless you wrap it in bacon!]. if you get a whole filet [usually 7-9 pounds], you can either roast the whole thing for a fabulous party or special occasion, or get the butcher to cut it into 1-inch steaks for broiling/grilling.
for a small family, an eye round roast is a good choice. it's small. lean, easy to cook. tastes good.
