How is it? And roughly what does it cost? Costco isn't an option here, so I'm thinking of joining Sam's Club. Amy |

Last time I checked $100 or so for the whole tenderloin. Sam's meat is pretty good. |

Amy, Sam's sell USDA Choice. (No implants like they sell at Walmart) If you schmooze the butchers, they will cut a section off the tenderloin. Then there is the wonderful milking cow tenderloin you can buy in dairy country. Actually, it is pretty good. Tim |

Of course, you already know that there will be A LOT of trimming when buying from Sam's/Costco versus the local butcher. Little did I know that though when I decided to buy from Costco (instead of the butcher) to save some bucks. It took me by surprise since I had been used to the butcher's cut. Honestly, by the time I finished trimming two 5 lb tenderloins (and all the other tasks I had to do to get ready for the holiday party) I questioned how much I really saved. Amy, you probably can trim a BT much faster than me though! One of my favorite beef tenderloin recipes has appeared on Google books - who knew?! Father Tim's Beef Tenderloin ...and on someone's blog |

You can use most of what you trim off the tenderloin but I agree that you don't end up with as much tenderloin as you might like. I had much less waste breaking down a 15 lb top loin into NY strips and a roast (I know, different cut). It was between $5 and $6 a pound at Costco. |

I've broken down a number of beef tenderloins, so I'm fairly familiar with the yield. It's just a lot more economical to buy it whole and butcher it myself. Amy |
