The wife was going to the butcher today to pick up stuff for perogi making.
She asked if I needed anything, and I replied that we needed to get approx
10 pounds of beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner. Knowing that the
tenderloins from this shop were cryovac'ed, I figured I'd be ok. The butcher
found two similar sizes, and asks her how we are preparing them. She tells
him we are roasting them. Well, when she arrives home, I'm presented with
two beautiful tenderloins that have been trimmed, tied, and wrapped in
butcher paper....no longer cryovac'ed. What should I do with these now?

Can they be vacuum packed with the foodsaver and be kept fresh, not frozen?
Am I better off freezing them?

Thanks

Whose wife... the communal wife... do we need to take a number?

Typical redneck/southerner.

i recall an issue of Cooks Illustrated a while back did a bit on Prime
Rib and dry-aging them in the refrigerator. I wonder if you could do
the same for the tenderloins?

It's almost as bad as "The hubby"... Typical obnoxious Yankee who just
can't seem to shut the **** up.

You're just 7 days from Christmas. Decisions, decisions. I'd just rewrap
them in Reynolds freezer wrap (Plastic coated) and keep them in the frig.
If you freeze them, it's going to take two days to thaw them out.

>> making.

Hi I'm an Aussie and had never heard of Perogi, so I 'googled' it and found
some interesting recipes. I cannot wait to make them; but if you don't mind
I have a couple of questions - firstly, do you have a good recipe you would
share please? secondly, what do you serve them with? TIA

Regards Chris
