    nothing expensive there! been getting these are great deals! rib eye cost me 60 bucks and that gave me 12 steaks 2 inches thick! that is like bucks a steak. and for the tenderloin i have been getting them for about 45 dollars and it gives me like 8 to 10 fillet mignon at 2 inches also plus leaves me with a few ends that i make fajitas with.

    cutting was not bad. i used my large chef knife and sharpened it before!
    once you start cutting i find you need to make a clean cut try not to stop or pause that is when you get the wedge effect.

    When my wife surprised me with a whole tenderloin and a whole rib eye a few weeks ago, I did almost the same thing except I saved a "roast sized" portion of each. I used the tenderloin roast on the egg with a portobella mushroom/marsala sauce (from Southern Living a year or 2 ago) and just did the ribeye roast like you would a prime rib. Magnificent!

    Did you cook all of them at once or did you vacuum seal some for later?
