Anyone ever cut steaks from tenderloin

[TEB]

Was at store I bought a huge roast thinking of doing it this way from now on. instead of butcher cuts steak ,My idea probably be less expensive than pre cut. Also if this works I may buy sirloin roast next time ,Any experience is helpful.

1. I have cut steaks from roasts in the past

but I doubt any real butcher would recognize them as "steaks." It was quite a bit less expensive than buying steaks and I could vary the thickness according to how I wanted to cook them. Just cut across the grain and grin at your dinner guests.

3. I see what you mean

On saying butcher never recognize them as steaks but three teen boys will eat them thank you.

2. I remember that Alton Brown

Had a good episode about just this topic on good eats years ago. I never had the opportunity to do such because I usually just make steaks for myself and it would go to waste, but it is the most economical way to go about making steaks.

4. Thank you

I was at a local grocer karns in Pennsylvania, and I saw the roast just popped into my head. Like warpy said they may not look like butcher cut but my son and his friends will eat them. Those boys have hollow legs and I do not mind.

5. I've seen the Alton Brown episode

but I think it's monetized now.

Here's another video with pretty much the same info.

6. I've done a couple of beef tenderloins. Takes a sharp knife. We have

a store that sold the whole tenderloins for $6.99 a lb.

7. i think that is what mignon is. but it is low fat. less flavor. bacon & butter.

8. sirloin and tenderloin are two way different cuts

sirloin will have a little more flavor and be less expensive, tenderloin is super tender but lacks flavor and is the most expensive beef cut.

having raised bottomless teens, I don't think feeding them tenderloin (as roast or steak) is going to be very economical.

9. I agree on economics

It was just a idea I had and yes they are bottomless
