who does this on here? Is there a large cost savings?

What do you do with "the chain"?

Im thinking about getting a five pound one, or so.

buy one that is larger than 5 lbs.... call it 5 up..

Which means you can get larger center cuts off of it


not hard... just need to figure if you want to eat a head cut or not .. I use it to make kabobs



^---- tail ^---Center ^--- Head cut

Alton Brown did two shows dedicated to this exact thing. I'm sure you can find the process on youtube.

He used the chain meat to make a philly cheesesteak but I'm sure you could treat it like a small roast.

I watched both (I've actually been watching good eats like crazy online) and i'm hooked on good eats and the beef tenderloin in general.

I live alone, and cook for people once a week or so, would freezing these after being cut be ok?

Ive never rally frozen meat before... I just buy what I know ill eat. I'm sure I sounds like a total Yankee right now.
