Expensive, you say? Not necessarily. When I tended bar for a brief time at our local country club, one of our biggest days was the Superbowl party. The head chef would always order slabs of Filet for the kitchen, than cut them for the dining room. There is a small piece of meat the runs lengthwise along the slab. He woud remove this and throw it in the freezer. It was slightly larger than a good sized thumb. He would save these and cut them into small medallions for the beef stew he made on this day. Best beef stew ever.
