December 21, 201312 yr I've had to change our red meat eating to only tenderloin(filet mignon) type beef. It's lower in calories, easier to chew but costs three times as much as sirloin.
December 21, 201312 yr If I got choked on chicken I am not adventurous to worry about steak right now. Glad you are enjoying good food!
December 21, 201312 yr Filet is the only steak I can chew. And because we now eat such small amounts the price isn't a killer anymore. My husband doesn't eat meat so it's just me to worry about. Enjoy it any time of the day or night .

Enjoy it any time of the day or night . I feel like Pavlov's dog. I try to buy tenderloin when it's in the discount bin at the store so I'm not paying $15/lb for the stuff. I have 3-4 packages of tenderloins in the freezer and after seeing this topic this morning I got one out for dinner tonite. Yum, with a glass of cabernet!!
December 21, 201312 yr Author How well do they hold up upon defrosting? I don't wanna put the other two in the freezer for fear it will somehow compromise the final product. I never buy more than one, for that same exact fear, but my 10 year old loves steak and I bought three.
December 21, 201312 yr Author Btw, it's been about 5 hours and I'm NOT HUNGRY AT ALL. Thank you, band!

It is a wonderful investment for everyone. I make large quantities and freeze them in the bags into the size portions. I defrost in the refrigerator over night on in the sink filled with cold Water.

Not as good as fresh but still better than a sirloin. And I also like rib eyes but sometimes they're a little too tough for my band. And, it's colder than Alaska here and grilling(the only way to cook steak) is too painful.

I watch on PBS Cook's Country and they say to put corn starch and sea salt on all steaks and wrap in plastic wrap and put in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then put the steak into a hot pan with a little oil and sear the steak and then transfer into the oven until done. They taste like a high end steak house. The oven is around 400 degrees. I use a meat thermometer to check the temp.
December 22, 201312 yr Well best wishes, I can't eat steak of any kind! Enjoy, is you can! Karen..aka...kll724
December 22, 201312 yr I've never heard of the cornstarch. Do you know what the purpose for that is? As far as freezing is concerned, I wrap them in the white paper first, then try to seal them with as little air in a freezer bag, as possible. Thaw and grill with a little adobo and garlic salt, cracked pepper... Yum!
December 22, 201312 yr The corn starch and salt give it "grill marks". It makes it crispy. That is what I read and have done and it works. It is on Cook's Country or America's test kitchen, they go by both names. They offer the recipes through the tv site. Good luck and enjoy.
Is having filet mignon for BREAKFAST too pretentious??? I think NOT!
