The $500 Porter Road shipment arrived late last week. It took a while for me to put the order together, too many choices! The order was:
Steak sampler
Bavette Steak × 2
Teres Major × 1
NY Strip Steak × 2
Filet Mignon × 2
Tri-Tip × 1
Here it is unpacked. The packaging was great, the ice packs and renewable insulation worked well for a two day trip to the upper-left corner of the US. Also like the individual vacuum packs, very stout and good labeling.
Monday night we cooked our first choices, my wife wanted a Filet, and I chose a Bavette . My wife prefers other proteins over beef, but does enjoy good steaks. She wanted to cook her own, so I took out the cast iron and stood back. She cut the tenderloin into two medallions, and seared it in a mix of avacado oil and ghee, and some fresh rosemary, and basted it while monitoring with a Thermapen and got her perfect medium she wanted.. I did a quick hot cook for the Bavette (might be a new favorite) to the red side of medium-rare. The rest of the meal was sauteed wild mushrooms, Gorgonzola bread, Caesar salad, and a nice Australian Cabernet.
