So, I have some filets that have been in my freezer for a while- one set for 6 months, one set for a year and 6 months. They are from omaha steaks, so they have stayed wrapped/in the box.
BUT I still think they will not be that good as 'steaks' so I wanted to make fajitas wtih them. Anyone have a good marinade recipe. I will be doing them on a grill...
Also, should I pound them thin? cut them before cooking?

Thanks!

Wrong texture

6 months to a year in freezer with good vacuum seal should be alright, Pan sear and finish in oven

I used some of those for beef teriyaki one time and it came out pretty good.

If you want to use them up versus cooking them as steaks I recommend you make some Beef Stroganoff

Ok- I am GOING to make the fajitas- it has already been decided....so can anyone help me with that? I plan on marinating them the night before-so for 24 hours or so
And they are not the wrong texture- I have seen fajitas made with filets before, so I know it can be done.....

You are going to marinate a fillet for 24 hours and make fajitas with it, don't look like you need any help at all, carry on

Look, if you are going to be a jackass just stay away.
I was wanting to see if anyone had any marinade recipes, experience with this, tips, etc

You can also wipe your arse with a hundred dollar bill.

Perfect response. I won't offer any advice on this thread since you got your mind made up.

Wow. That's a long time for steak in a freezer. I'd thaw it. Take a steak out and feed it to the dog. If he likes it, then they're OK.

Come on folks. They are Omaha steaks, so it ain't like if he grilled them they would be all that great anyway. Just give the guy some fajita suggestions.
