Beef tender loin

[Steve H]

Morning all,
A couple days ago I found some beef tender loin for 13.00 a pound. Half the cost elsewhere. So I figured why not give it a try?

Gave them a good shot of course pepper and a bacon dress. My initial idea was to grill these. But after working on the dining room all day. I just didn't want to mess around getting
the grill going. So these were started in a CI pan on the stove to 125 IT. Then in the broiler to finish and get the bacon crispy.
Served with deep fried steak fries. Came out really good. The steaks were fork tender at just past med. rare. How the boss likes them.

Looks like some good eats steve, probably more enjoyable at 13 a pound

Very Nice Steve! Not seeing that for $13/lb here that is for sure. But do have some Tritips (untrimmed) That a friend picked up at a Costco in Santa Monica for $7.99/lb. Should be flown in today when she lands.

Great looking cook. I'd not turn it down

Looks real great Steve!
I haven’t bought any meat in months.
The prices are just outrageous!
I do have a couple of freezers full of meat so we are kinda going back to our vegetarian diet that we followed most of our lives, so I pull a piece of meat out of the freezer maybe once a week. Otherwise we eat veggies, beans & pasta. Although when the cool weather finally gets here, I’m sure the smokers will be fired up, WITH MEAT!

Beer has hops in it. Isn't that a veggie?

I like how you think!

Thanks Jim! It was. I should have bought more. It was every bit as good as the 27.00 pound loin.

Looks great Steve.

Thank you!

Thanks! I was quite happy to see it at this price. TT? Shoot, here it is 20.00 a pound if you can find it.

Great looking cook. I'd not turn it down

Thanks Ray! Yeah, veggies were a afterthought. I was planning on a salad. But I'm making up for it today. Having Coldslaw with dinner.

True! Lol!

Isnt bacon a veggie also

It is as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks Al! I've been stocking up on meat again. Looks like it'll get scarce...and even more $$$ Been slicing and packing most of today. 40 pounds of pork loin, 35 pounds of chicken breasts, 30 pounds of chuckies, and 15 pounds of burger. Freezer full = lighter wallet!!

That's a fine looking plate of food right there Steve. Believe me buddy, I'm all too familiar recently with the concept of not really having the energy or gumption to make a meal. You just do what you gotta do and as often as not it comes out great....as yours did.

Isnt bacon a veggie also

Yes sir Jim. Bacon encompasses ALL food groups. If your meal is lacking something that's noted as a daily requirement, just add bacon and you're all set

13 bucks a pound, came from a rustled or stolen cow! Beef prices are astronomical stupid.

Thanks! I don't see much Australian beef here. But we get Mexican. Which tends to be lean. This was raised and harvested in the USA.
