Your wife too. Filet Mignon? I do the same thing, almost. My bride wants filet, I do a top loin strip for me.
Happy birthday to Mrs. Chad. Please pass it along to her.

Great looking meat!

Thanks guys, I'll pass along birthday wishes.

The steaks were great. The t-bones were about 1.5 pounds each and the filet went .63 pounds. I butterflied the filet to get a litte more surface area to cook.

I love the market I bought these steaks from, but I don't especially care for the price!! It's worth it for special occassions. I think next time I'm going with their ribeye steaks...they were beautiful, too.

Chad, ribeyes are a good comprimise. Great flavor. It is the only thing besides filet mignon that my wife will eat without having some comment, like this is good , but.....
