I am not an expert just like to eat cost effectively. To get a good steak right now it’s expensive. Here’s how to get one of the steaks on your table for $5 a steak.
Buy a tenderloin in bulk. (Costco is a great option)
When you get it it won’t be clean. It will have more tallow(beef fat) and silver skin than you want to eat. Silver skin is very chewy so please remove it:
Us a thin sharp knife to cut off extra fat and silver skin. Do not throw it away. It can be cooked and throw into your stock pot. Here’s trick for silver skin. It’s really tough, but you can cut yourself a flap to grab:
Silver skin is stronger than the meat it’s on and will literally allow you to “Pull it” off the meat:
Repeat this as many times as needed. Cut off any part that won’t make an appropriate sized steak and use this for your Kabob meat or smaller pieces as Beef and Broccoli meat.
Now you can cut this into steaks you enjoy. As thick or thin as you like. I usually way what I just cut so I can make a call about how large my next cut will be. There are no mistakes here only happy accidents.
