When I buy whole beef temderloin, I cut it into filets, medallions, chateaubriand, etc. The tip is such an odd piece that I just freeze it in a chunk to cut up and use later.

Tonight I cut up the tip piece into large chunks and seared it with mushrooms, shallots, and a Bordelaise sauce. Served with a big salad.

Dinner and my mise en place.

Lovely mise en place. What's the tan stuff in the bowl under the spatula?

First time buying "beef chuck tender" - made a great pot roast on this chilly, rainy day. I threw in some of my rehydrated dried mushrooms, garlic, onions, red wine and beef broth. Homemade mashed, parsleyed carrots. Salt and pepper, lol!

Time for a snack at bed time. I was wishing for a savory snack. I had some pickle pimento loaf on white sliced. In the meantime, Tina put me on a diet to lose some weight. She went a little too far with the bread size. I asked her "Honey, who shrunk the bread?" She shrugged her shoulders as if to say someone else did. I made the sandwich, but I used 3 slices on the bottom, and 3 slices on the top of the meat..... that at least made the sandwich equal to 2 slices of regular bread.
Pepperidge Farms makes the bread labeled 'Very Thin White Bread.'

I made these, actually three of them.
I'll reheat one tomorrow, I took one over to my neighbor Pat with some hot fries and chopped broccoli, onion and tomato salad.
She loved it all!

Burger with cheese, fried onions, pickles, and ketchup on an onion roll. Red skin potato salad, and steamed cauliflower on the side. I was too tired and upset to eat more than a couple of bites of my burger. It's in the fridge but I will probably chuck it.

I've actually put a soup on, from just about everything I could think of to use up from the fridge and freezer to call it soup.
The base is chicken broth, the aromatics are onion and garlic, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, a chopped tomato, red bell pepper, I threw in a handful of Reames frozen noodles, then added some Italian herbs.
It smells wonderful.
