The Tender Filet: 2 Porterhouse Steaks Giveaway!

If you look at the post right before this one; you will see about my recipe experiment with The Tender Filet.  I made a beautiful dinner of Porterhouse Steaks with Mushroom Sauce, Grilled Sweet Potatoes, and Asparagus. It was really fun to have such large and delicious steaks!DSC08538

The Tender filet is an online and catalog fine meat retailer.  They have tons of items to choose from – From Aged Steaks, Seafood, to lamb, all sorts of poultry, and appetizers and side dishes! Their meats are all high quality and delivered right to your door with dry-ice, keeping them cool.  (Just a side note: we had a LOT of fun playing with the dry ice in water..) By “high quality meats”, I’m saying they are meats that you cannot get at a grocery store.  Only really high-end stores and restaurants have meat this good – that is aged to perfection to enhance the flavor and juiciness.

imageSo I got to talking to  The Tender Filet on twitter about, well.. My blog.  And we set up a review and giveaway, along with three of some of my closest blogging buddies.  Alison from www.BeingAlison.com; Annie from www.MamaDweeb.com; and Kelly from www.TexasTypeAMom.com.  We all got to choose a different item to cook and try a recipe with; and then the awesome opportunity to give away the same item to our readers!

I don’t think most people quite get the size of these puppies until you see them take up the entire plate.  I was originally planning on putting these both on the grill along with the sweet potatoes – but the sweet potatoes wouldn’t fit (on a grill tray)!! I suddenly realized how small our grill was!

Our Steak was phenomenal.  I had only ever once cooked a porterhouse steak; and it was NOWHERE near this large.  I looked up several tips to grilling before I cooked these bad-boys – and they turned out fantastic!  My husband likes his steaks a little more pink than I do – So I cooked mine a few minutes longer than his.  Turns out though, that his turned out PERFECTLY, and mine was a little on the well-done side.  Which, wasn’t BAD. – I just know now that the ‘resting’ time cooks the steaks a little more (which I should have taken into consideration after all those sites I read!). Check out my recipe post for more tips on grilling steaks.

  713. Salleefur/Jesselyn/Jesster says

    We love the very shareable Porterhouse Steak, but I would also love to try either the Leg or Lamb or the Loin Lamb Chops or my Honey/Hubby’s favorite, the Cowboy Rib Eye Steaks (and who wouldn’t be thrilled with the ultimate: VIP Steak Combo!

  716. Salleefur/Jesselyn/Jesster says

    MMMMMM – we love steak – but quality Filets like these are a little out of our price league these days! Thanks
