Look,
I'm not even sure how to spell it and spell check has been no help here but I think you know where I'm going with this.

Over a year ago a friend brought me this piece of meat and said, here take it. I'm moving and can't take it with me.

Well,
Last night I pulled it out of the freezer to see what I really had. This is what it looked like after I thawed it out



This is what it looked like when I cut it up into thick steaks. So far, it's looking real tasty. Prepping the weber now to cook up three of the steaks I cut.


Question,
That's allot of meat.
It came to me frozen so I'm thinking its only been frozen one time.
Should I be ok splitting it up and refreezing for future cooks or will I need to eat it all up in the next couple if days?



Thanks for all your input in advance brethren!!!

Refreezing really shouldn't be a problem, especially if you have a vacuum sealer, if you don't, just make sure all the air is out of the wrapped portions.

And if that is filet mignon you are in for a real treat, good stuff!

Agree,
That's what it was marked as on the package so who knows?

I will give an update on the taste and tenderness. Etc.

That is a nice chunk of meat, I have to differ, that looks very much to me like an untrimmed Beef tenderloin, the heart of which would be a Filet Mignon. Not only the shape, but, the color of the meat, it has that look.

Doesn't really matter, it can be refrozen if carefully packed.

You are correct on the refreezing.Looks like too much marbling to be tenderloin,to me.Tenderloin is very lean.

I think I agree with landarc. That center piece looks like the color and consistency of filet. Actually, I bet that is perhaps better than regular old filet since you get the adjacent muscles and a bit of fat with it.



And WHAT the heck is WWGALD?

I recommend trimming out the filet and cooking it separate, just a sear on a hot grill.
They are small, I wouldn't refreeze unless I had to.
