It was good but have had better meat

I don’t remember filets not being trimmed. Isn’t that the reason you buy filet?

Love these steaks they are always tender!

Great flavor and super tender

Great tasting, we always come back to Sam's for our filets.

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.

If possible would give negative stars. Need to train and allow Meat Staff to trim-off the waste properly and discard - way too much gristle/fat left not trimmed off. Looked over the packages in the meat case and reluctantly purchased a 2.11 pound package - got home and trimmed off 0.4 pounds of waste. For “Prime” quality at nearly $24 per pound, do the math and hitting $9 waste. Take a look at the picture of this item on the Sam’s website and in-store and you can see they are not properly trimming - and they put fatty part under so cannot be seen when looking at packages - this is somewhat common, but not for “Prime” cut at $24/lb. Also when to two Sam’s clubs and this “prime” looked the same at both. I returned and spoke with the manager to communicate that this was unacceptable. Got a refund and purchased at another store. FYI I don’t do reviews but feel you should know what you’re buying.

This is really the BEST precut tenderloin steaks short of a 4 star restaurant and at a quarter of the price. There definitely is a difference between choice (grocery store) and prime! We've had these over a dozen different times and haven't had a bad one yet. Remember to sear them first, then finish cooking them at a very low temp. - 250 degrees or so. Use a meat thermometer and remove them at 125 degrees. Let them rest for 5 minutes and they will be about 135 degrees or a perfect medium rare. The only down side is to remember to trim the silver skin off before cooking. Sadly, they don't do that.

Very tender and tasteful. Often there's a runt, either fatty or grisly and cleverly concealed by the label. Remaining 3 steaks are excellent.

I'm very pleased with the filet mignon picked by the Sam's employee for my delivery order. Highly recommend.
