Smithfield Beef Tenderloin, Salty
Capt Frank
Posts: 2,578
Picked up a small [only about 1 1/2 lbs] beef tenderloin at Kroger. It was packaged by Smithfield. I thought a small loin like that would be really good for just two people. I seasoned it with CharCrust Peppercorn Ranch, which I like a lot for beef roasts.
The resulting cook was very, very salty. Then I remembered the post a few weeks ago about Smithfield Pre-packaged ribs being overly salty. Apparently this also applies to any beef they sell
:(
Of Course, like any Tenderloin, it was two pieces
Small enough to cook by just searing with a couple of flips
Cooked to 125 internal
It was very tasty [a little overdone] served up with some terrific corn and tomatoes we picked up from a roadside stand.
Just a reminder, it it says Smithfield on the package, it will likely be loaded with salt.

I don't have a clue why these pics came out so small, did them just like I always do :unsure: They are normal size in my preview.

Well I hate that and I guess I forgot about the warning. I guess you just have to chock that one up as a learning experience. I'm sure you will make up for it next time you get a chance. Tim

Thanks Tim,
I would cook these again, they were tender and tasty, but next time I will use Black Pepper and Garlic only, no rub that contains any additional salt.
I hope Smithfield wakes up and realizes they can't market everything like it is Country Ham :P
