Enhanced Walmart Filet Mignon & a back-up T-Bone

[Bob Correll]

Bob, I think you're right...With the cross-section shot it doesn't look like muscles are running in any direction but one..So I retract my earlier postulate.
Regardless of meat glue - I had a gas station sandwich for dinner and you had filet mignon...I'd say you come out on top either way!
Double regardless, my comment was not meant to offend (and after re-reading it I think I come off as an arrogant jerk). It's more a commentary on how questionable our food sources can be, when it should have been a commentary on how jealous I am of your abilities to cook.

Gregg,
Thanks for your reply, no offense taken.
I did some online research before cooking these, and found a couple of comments claiming a similar product had meat grains running in different directions.
So I was looking carefully to see if that would be the case with these, and it wasn't.
I agree, one has to be diligent when buying meat these days.

excellent reminder - I encourage everyone to consider taking interest in where and how your meat is raised - It can be a real eye-opener and very educational.

Bob - that steak looks as close to perfect as a guy could get.

Thanks Bob,

Great looking steaks and excellent review of the Walmart FM. I'll definitely give this a try just for fun. BTW; the color looks fine to me - I like my steaks rare to medium rare. Salad looks wonderful too - what kind of dressing did you use?

how many people were hurt in this cook Bob?

None?

Thank goodness!

Delicious meat mate!
