They tend to be smaller cuts than ribeye, but for the money they are very close in quality, my dad turned me onto them and i love'em. |

I shall try this... I've used them as a poor-man's flank steak in the past, I'll just see what a tenderizer and some butter can do when I treat it like a steak..

Ribeyes are overrated. They're too fatty. A good filet mignon is the way to go, and I'd pick a strip over a ribeye as well.

So no to this form of tenderizing? When I do the Poor-Man's flank steak I don't use it, but I cut it on something like a 60-degree bias, and I use this for 20 minutes to marinade it (and it's pretty darn good): And goddam you... Now I'm hungry!!!

I just don't want anyone to expect one thing and get something else... I do like the chuck eye cut, though. If I want steak and don't want to spend much money, I'll almost always buy a chuck eye. |

I'll not argue much with someone that prefers a strip steak, T-bone, or porterhouse. But filet just doesn't have much flavor. It needs a lot of help. It's very tender, yes. But it can't stand up on its own in flavor like ribeye or strips can. That's why filet is wrapped in bacon, covered in sauce, or used in a au poivre preparation (covered in cracked peppercorns AND sauce).

And for me, it's not that the filet "supports" those flavors... it's that it needs accessories to be standout. Anyway, it's your steak. If you want to eat something that costs more and tastes worse, that's your prerogative. Being totally serious, I won't turn down a filet. There's just several other cuts I'd order before that, and a few other entrees entirely. But if that's what's offered, I'll be happy. |

Filet isn't bad. When I want steak, I wanna taste beef.
Ribeye provides that. |
