Filet mignon prices are getting crazy expensive… so what if I told you there’s a cheap steak cut that eats just like filet mignon? In this video I show you how to take a sirloin filet from a whole sirloin and turn it into an incredibly tender steak using the sous vide method and a hot sear on the Blackstone griddle.
This budget steak trick can save you serious money while still delivering restaurant-quality results. If you’re looking for the best cheap steak cut, how to cook steak on a Blackstone, or how to make steak tender with sous vide, this technique might just change the way you cook steak forever.
I also stopped by Colonial Meats in Trinity, North Carolina to show how to ask your butcher for this hidden cut.
If you love Blackstone griddle recipes, steak cooking tips, and budget cooking hacks, you’re in the right place.
