I have read the other suggestions, but at the end of the day, as Charles points out in his references: hjortytterfilé IS translated as fillet of venison on Stadshuskällaren's (the same restaurant that prepares the Nobel banquet) menu, as well as in a few other places. I do find it odd that they would have made such an oversight, considering the clientele that they serve. To be honest, I'm not sure there is a perfect linguistic answer to the question as food don't always translate directly across: asking a chef might actually be the best bet. Thanks for all your help! :)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Sven Petersson: The "filé" (fillet) is much tenderer and much more expensive than "ytterfilén" (strip loin). To sell "ytterfilé" as fillet would constitute fraud. - ADDENDUM: OK, fraud or incompetence.

  -> I would be astonished if the kitchen that prepares and serves the Nobel banquet is committing "fraud" on its regular guests: http://www.profilrestauranger.se/stadshuskallaren/. You might want to reconsider that remark.
disagree  Stefan A. M. Adamek: Sven is absolutely correct, the chefs also use the name contrafilé.

venison top loin


Explanation:
This is how I remember it from the Culinary Academy:
''Top loin'' (ytterbiten av loin) is the English name of the whole loin and when cooked whole (roast).
''Striploin'' (GB) or ''Strip Loin'' (US) when it's beef and the loin is cut into steaks.

Please note that the cutting chart for Venison/Deer does not compare well with the cutting chart for beef.

It should actually be Deer Top Loin
Realized that Venison actually isn't completely correct since it can be meat from any game animal (Reindeer, Elk, Moose, Boar, Bison etc.)
See: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/venison

neutral  nilsmunkwirell: Guess Venison Tenderloin could also be true, but not sure exactly if that corresponds to Ytterfilé
14 hrs
  -> 1/ Deer, not venison. 2/ Tenderloin is located inside the flat bone, = inner filet. Ex: T-Bone steak has one large (Top loin) & one small (Tenderloin) part separated by the bone. See: virtualweberbullet.com/meatcharts_photos/BeefMadeEasyCutChart2009.pdf
neutral  Anna Herbst: Venison is correct - http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/625415/venison "Venison (from Latin venatus, “to hunt”), the meat from any kind of deer; originally, the term referred to any kind of edible game."

  -> Thanks, I know that. But Venison means that you could also get this on your plate: Antelope, arctic hare, blue hare, brown hare, caribou, elk, fallow deer, hare’s, ibex, moose, pronghorn, red deer, reindeer, roe deer, wild boar, wild goats or wild pigs.
