The beef tenderloin I made for Christmas was enough of a hit that it's been requested again. Heading to the butchers in a couple hours. Is the prime worth the extra $4 per pound? |

HOLY CARP!!!

A few ways to look at this ... 1. Did you use prime or choice last year? Consider using the same thing this year; because the review from last year was good, so why change? 2. Do you use a lot of herbs and spices? With enough herbs and spices, the taste difference between prime and choice goes away. 3. Do you stew or cook it a long time? Cook it long enough and the texture difference between prime and choice goes away too. |

I don't use a lot of spices for this recipe, and I do a very slow roast (175 in the oven). |

Ax, Anybody that stews a beef tenderloin deserves to be shot. Back to the original question...I wouldn't pay $4/lb more from prime, but that's just me. |

One of the beauties of tenderloin is it is lean. Since prime just means more fat, well, probably not. |

I would go prime for sure if the meat is a main act. |

I have a pressure cooker! It will turn anything into mush. I've used it, well...once. It's somewhere in a cupboard. I think I'll consider thinking about getting it out again sometime. |
