This short article of mine is not about butchering a whole tenderloin. It's about not having to bother with butchering a whole tenderloin. It turns out that Costco sells processed tenderloin, albeit at a much higher unit price. I found the increased price well worth paying for. This processed version is called "Peeled Extreme Beef Tenderloin".
Oxtail Steak a la Sous Vide
I was talking to a friend about my oxtail steak I once plugged at r/sousvide. I was telling him how I got mostly negative feedback along the lines of "an oxtail is an oxtail is an oxtail - you stew it". Retelling this story reminded me of pictures I took while undertaking that 24-hour endeavor.
