But good beef

Most of the meat is very good for filet mignon; however, the pieces are not cut evenly. If you are looking for 1 per person, then one of your guests might be disappointed. One piece of our meat had a lot of gristle, like a scrap piece. You might want to call ahead to request evenly cut meats if you’re doing outside pick-up.

I've purchased these over the years but the quality of them has been poor over the last 4 or 5 purchases. The 4 "steaks" were of different sizes in one package making it unreliable for serving to guests. Further they were full of silvery tough streaks and inedible parts. Finally they sometimes fell apart when removed from the package as if they had been each packed together but we're never 4 whole steaks. These are expensive. I didn't care what they cost because they used to be so perfect. But the last 4 or 5 packages were so awful I wound up giving most of it to the dog because they were inedible. Shame!

Went to Sam’s, to buy a few things, had company coming for Labor Day weekend, decided to cook steaks for 4 of us, so I purchased 2 packages, upon opening them and looking at them they didn’t look or smell just right , so I figured, don’t serve them, as I had not save receipts, so got rid of them, threw them out… that’s what I can tell you, I’m not complaining, just a feedback!

I bought these yesterday. One of them is mostly inedible due to the tendons running through most of it. 4 steaks cost $58.51. It’s never happened to me before, but I will think twice before buying filets from Sam’s again. Of course they always put the better side facing out.

We pick up curbside simply because of our health and with cancer we have a VERY low immune system. I am 70 years old and eaten my fair share of filet's and this is NOT that OR it's the worst cut in the world. IF I had another option I would NOT have ordered them a 2nd time. The 1st time they were very fatty and didn't really look like a filet but this last time...OMG. We got 2 crappy filets and 2 strips about the size of candy bar! WHAT the heck! I feel ripped off. Oh and did I mention they were NOT very tender! Since we moved to the Lower RGV from N. Texas we've had terrible cuts of meat from Sam's. Maybe they just send us the scraps down here OR Sam's has certainly gone downhill. Yes, this makes me upset because we aren't getting what we paid for.

Had a couple with lobster tails. Wife said better than restaurant. Let them come to room temperature. Rub with unsalted butter. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear each side 3 minutes on very hot cast iron skillet. Sear edges a couple minutes. Insert thermometer and put cast iron skillet in 450 degree oven until steaks reach 130. Pull out and tent with aluminum foil for 5 minutes. Medium rare. They were great. Will be buying them again.

On 1 May we purchased a package of Beef Tenderloin Filet from the Sam's Club in Rapid City SD. We have been making such a purchase from that Sam's club for several years and have always enjoyed the quality and flavor of the product. It has been an integral portion of our favorite dinner when we entertain family or out of town guests at our house for a gathering. The product we purchased on 1 May was a complete disappointment. Each of the 4 steaks in the package had a considerable amount of fat on them, which was necessary to trim off before they could be cooked. In the process of trimming the fat a considerable amount of blood was found underneath the fat layers. The presence of blood in butchered meat is completely unappetizing and definitely unacceptable and not healthy. This was the first time we have ever seen this in any of the prime beef packages we have purchased from this Sam's Club.

I have bought this steak 5 times now i can cut with my fork.

we generally love Sams meat but for the price this was not a great value
