Overall this was great. The beef was extremely tender and made for a great sandwich.....also used the leftovers for steak and eggs the next morning.

Looks great! Did you fry the chips or make them in your turkey cookerr?

Just looked at a 10 pounder. It was twice as expensive as the boneless rib eye, so I came home with a 19 pound boneless rib eye instead.

We fried the chips.  and Infra-red on the turkey.  Sorry, no pics of those.....the tenderloin stole the show.

We found the tenderloin on sale for $8.99/lbs, so it was a super good deal.
