I think I mentioned I need adult supervision when I go to Sam's club, something about I already have plenty of meat in the freezers but they had whole tenderloins for $9.99lb. I picked out the biggest one, it looked really nice and would have come from a steer that had been fattened up past normal packer weight.
I had been dry aging it for 3 weeks and had some free time today to cut it into steaks. First I get rid of the silver skin.
This tenderloin didn't really need much trimming other than some hard fat and bit of the chain. I save that and freeze it to grind in with a fatty cut of beef to make burgers with. I saved two out to cook and put the rest on a tray to freeze then I'll vac them for later use.
I'm not real fussy about leaving some fat on the steaks. I don't like the ones you buy already trimmed up so much you don't get any fat at all. I also cut some thick because I like my steak rare. I'll get the CI pan really hot on the grill and just sear on both sides turning a couple of times. Then into the oven that's off covered in foil.
If the wind will die down tonight I'll finish the cook. Might be one of those midnight meals, I've got to help sort cattle later for a neighbor.
