Best Price for Filet Mignon
The smart shopper will pick up porterhouse steaks on sale and get two prime cuts at once. The small medallion on one side of the bone is none other than the filet mignon. The long strip of meat on the other side of the bone is known as the New York strip, shell, club or Delmonico steak when detached from the bone, or the T-bone when left attached. Use the T-bone or strip steaks for one meal and save the filets for a special dish.Another option is to buy a whole loin on sale and cut it into filet mignon slices yourself. You control the thickness. Wrap unneeded slices tightly in plastic wrap, seal in a zip-top bag with all the air removed, and freeze for later use. You can use the larger end of the loin for a roast and the small end for filets.
