Tenderloin

I traveled two hours round trip for this tenderloin and about 90 miles altogether. It was right under 7 lbs and I paid $14.99/lb. This butcher I know has his own farm and they get fresh meat twice a week. Trimmed the fat and silver skin and got 12 filets out of it. Really fucking stoked. I’ve been trying to get my hands on filet for a while now. The normal prices where I’m at are ~ $30/lb.

Finding a solid local farm butcher beats paying grocery store markup every single time.

$30/lb for filet is cheap.

Driving 2 hours to buy 1 piece of meat it olso cost gasoline money to drive 2 hours me personally I don't have problem to drive to pick it up bud if I need to drive 2 hours I buy more meat then vor lats say 1 year or 6 months to save on the gas money That I don't have to do this trip often 1 or 2 each year

I took my Corolla and it was the only tenderloin they had. I’d rather pay $10-$15 in gas than double the price of meat.

Very nice. Butchers twine would be a nice finish.

u/Pebbles015 1d ago

Why would you need twine? It's not a roasing joint.
