How to breakdown a whole Beef Tenderloin

[@dawnciarleglio75]

I have worked around meat and butchers my whole adult life. I watched a bunch of these videos by chefs and the so-called pros, and yours was better than any of them! Very helpful and unintimidating.

[@carlosvillaverde2681]

Excelent way to breakdown a tenderloin and good to explain how to form medallions from the not even parts.Congratulation ,very useful

[@actuallowroller]

I would like to say that "just a stay-at-home mom and cook" are the absolute most important people in A LOT of homes and you are the heart and soul of the home! Please give yourself all the incredible credit you are due. Love love love your videos. Hugs from a Southern California girl ❤️.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Amber thanks for the kind words and I couldn't agree with you more. Shelby

[@julieneises8851]

You cleaned that tenderloin better than any other video I have watched.

[@terryloveyou4031]

I saved this video and refer back to it ever so often! Best video out there for breaking down a whole beef tenderloin! Your directions and patience makes the process so simple! Thank you for taking your time to post the video....

[@sarabeede9297]

Thank you for sharing! I see this video is a bit old, but still very helpful to me today. So thank you much!

[@timdaugherty6660]

Thank you for this video, I have wanted to purchase one at Sam's but was intimidated by the process of cutting. Thank you so much. tim

[@biffwellington6264]

I've watched several people break down a tenderloin, but never once seen the technique of 'forming' the steaks. Thanks!

[@SusanH578]

Thank you for making this video....I have never been shown how to use a tenderloin nor how to break it down! I think I will definitely be trying this! My kids will love it! Definitely cheaper than buying the cuts themselves! So informative!!!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Yes Susan, if you can hit a sale, is a great way to save a lot. Shelby

I watched several videos on breaking down a whole tenderloin and yours was, by far, the best; good job. I'll be shopping for whole tenderloins, going forward. Thank you...

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Bill

[@runarandersstuen5668]

This is was perfect! I'm making beef wellington for the first time, this helped allot in understanding where to get that nice uniform bit of tenderloin from.

[@Sheywh12]

YOUR SUCH A GOOD TEACHER THANK YOU AGAIN!! I KNEW ONE DAY I WOULD DO THIS NOW IS THE TIME!! YOUR THE BEST!!

[@tiffanyp3682]

What a video! I love how informative this is! Your voice is so soothing and the finished product looks like a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Tiffany Pennisi Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! Shelby

[@RunsWithKnives]

Nicely done, I remember watching my Grandfather as a kid whip right through just about anything from a deer, cow or pig. One of his Dad's many trades was butcher and he was a quick study.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you. John my Chef friend who taught me can break one down in about a minute. No joke, but he does it all the time. I take a lot longer than he does, and thank goodness eventually get the job done.

[@marissadharmis6166]

Wow thanks for sharing ! You have four children? All boys I'm guessing as I watch your videos. Bless your family ! Glad I found your channel. It's very relaxing to watch and I've gotten some good ideas for recipes as well!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks for the words of encouragement Marissa and welcome to my channel. We have a great group here. We have 3 biological boys and one unofficial adopted son, but our household has grown to ten because my mom lives with us. She is end stage Alzheimers and several family members help in her care. Shelby

[@marissadharmis6166]

TheQueensCabinet may God bless you and your family for taking such good care for your mother! A big family is a blessed family!

[@AussieAngeS]

This was wonderful to watch and to listen to Shelby. Thank you very much for being thorough. I'll give it a go ❤

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Angie. I woke up yesterday and my first thought was your Mom, I sent another prayer. Shelby

[@AussieAngeS]

TheQueensCabinet thank you Shelby she has physiotherapy this morning. Appreciate you ❤🙏🏻🌹

[@donnasmith5697]

You explained that so simply! Thank you! I've never seen it done and think that I will give it a try.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Donna, I was scared the first time I did it, but it always comes out well. Shelby

[@christydiaz30]

What a great video! I will be purchasing my first tenderloin ever and following your steps. Thank you!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Nice!!!! Shelby

[@1TwinkleC]

That was so informative. I will be looking for a sale. You made it look easy. I would like to give it a try. Thanks

[@TheQueensCabinet]

My pleasure. If I can do it, you can do it. Shelby

[@stephmlemay]

i think i've just binge watched about 100 of your videos.... please never stop

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Awe that is about the nicest thing anyone has ever said, thank you. We have had a busy week, Ken's Dad and step mom and family friends were visiting us for a few days. Plus we have also been doing some home improvement projects and I have been organizing my bathroom a little at a time. So hopefully I will be getting some more videos out soon. Thank you for the encouragement and kind words. Shelby

[@Sheywh12]

I know she’s great isn’t she!! She’s a true women best friend!!

[@carolr7606]

Loved this video. My husband and I love filets and now I'm not intimidated to break down a whole tenderloin. Thanks Shelby!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

That is good to know Carol, just take your time and think of the money you will save. Plus you can have your steaks just the size you want. Shelby

[@theweniscoqui]

Excellent video with nice detail and explanation

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you :D Shelby

[@lauralee6120]

i so enjoy your videos. you have a very soothing voice. your videos are instructional as well as entertaining. thank you for your channel. have a blessed day, laura lee a fellow northern upstater. ☺

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thank you Laura Lee. I know we had a little rain today, but this past week has been so beautiful! Shelby

[@Pcgamingfixes]

You cleaned that so beautifully. Not a single nick in the meat while trimming.

[@stevet8121]

I just bought a whole tenderloin from Winco for $5.89/pound and I'm anxious to give this a try. You have wonderful skills so I'm hoping mine comes out like yours did. I'll be patient as I work.

[@IAmJeka]

I do this all the time but love how you rationed it. Can you suggest the best way to store it for you and the freezer shelf life?

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I use food saver vacuum bags

[@annmittelstadt2938]

I buy the whole tenderloin too and cut it myself too. So easy. I use the bits n pieces for Jennifer's A country Life Vension Pepper Steak. I don't have deer meat so I use beef. And it is so DELICIOUS. Thanks for sharing your method. I will try your way next time..

[@jojoply]

That was so interesting to watch. It amazed me. I will partake in a sale next time!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

It's easy once you do it the first time. Pull up and bar stool and just take your time, it will save a lot of money. Shelby

[@Sheywh12]

I got my beef!! I will be watching this ASAP!! As we are breaking it down Got my Costco card this month was in there today Sunday and low and behold only 6.99 lb New York!! 100.00 beauty I may call you if I have a hang up issue HEEHEE 😉 Prayers Michael is healing and doing much better Take Care I miss our chats so much!! Love ya Shey

[@rebeccajenkins4755]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching you very much. Blessings

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Rebecca I hope it saves money for your family. Shelby

[@bobert6523]

Thank you for the video, I'm about to buy a whole tenderloin for the first time tomorrow :-)

[@pamjones6465]

Operation successful. :) Nice cut of meat. Definitely made some awesome meals. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

My pleasure Pam, hopefully it will help save money. Shelby

[@rchopp]

Nicely done, I can see how you are able to do so much with three hands, I seen the third one pop in there at the 10:33 mark..lol Oh and that meal at the end looked sooooo good.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I guess he thought I wasn't working fast enough lol. I used Alton Brown's Steak au Poivre recipe and it is a good one.

[@MusicforMe123]

Fabulous job, you should be proud of yourself. Just a quick question, where did you get the tenderloin for $6.99 a pound.

[@Sheywh12]

Shelby this is So Kewl!! I never knew it was that easy to trim!! I think I can even do that with my hands!! Hubby has a filet knife LOL 😂... Now if I find a good sale I might have to break down and have some meat with that's. It grass fed 😂... You said exactly what I was thinking ..I had already made that roast into 2 or 3 and had 10 Steaks ROFL 🤣... I'm saving this!!! Look at all that stew meat too!! love ya thanks a bunch!! Shey

[@TheQueensCabinet]

If I can do it, you can do it Shey

[@Sheywh12]

I know how to cut all that off that's not hard just never knew What to do with that big thing!! ROFLMBO 🤣🤣🤣

[@Babs9285]

Thank you! I have one to cut up tonight! This helped a lot!

[@Sheywh12]

Hey sweetheart this was a great tutorial!! My only problem was mine was a NY and it was all fat on the back and the front of it was fat with the rib indentations.. This was my issue not yours and that’s where I got lost!! 🤣 Did I get the same kind of meat? I got it done thanks to your help and kind words all through the video.. I’m just not sure 🤔 it was exactly right!! Is there a trick to picking these out?? The meat looks good cut up it just wasn’t easy to clean up all that fat!! Your encouraging words was the only reason me and my bad hands made it thru that poor thing HAHA 😂 I didn’t get a 45.00 one we bought a 100.00 dollar because that’s all they had and we wanted to put some beef in the fridge We eat so much chicken and Turkey on a regular basis we thought this would be good change and still eat it in a little at a time to still be healthy...Thank so much for this video for I would have never made it thru this without having this video!! Take Care Love Shey

[@terrianderson1014]

Great tutorial! 😊

[@EbonyIvyThymewithLeona]

My goodness Shelby, where did you learn how to butcher beef? How cool!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Leona I learned it to save my family money hahahaha Be Blessed

[@cherylsuds7882]

Thanks for the lesson, when I get low on steaks I buy those loins at Costco. But I have only cut them into steaks. Plus the only prices I have seen is 90 to 110 dollars usually. So I think you got a really good deal.

[@thomassmith4616]

I cringe watching you light handed with that knife, but the trimming is awesome.

[@actuallowroller]

I really hope we are lucky and get a video for the beef and broccoli stir-fry! 😛

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Amber I did a video several years ago. Shelby kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnjahn-AmpuUmqM

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Robin I hope it saves your family money. Shelby

[@franniemolina7026]

Thank you so much for this, you have taught me so much thank u !

[@TheQueensCabinet]

My pleasure Frannie

[@StillWaters56]

After viewing your video, I went to Costco next day and purchase one. I clean as per your instruction and then I cut and wrap beacon around each piece sprinkle with some black pepper and it was stupid good. I have never done this before and my husband think I am the bomb.com LoL. Thank you.

[@StillWaters56]

I purchased a pork tenderloin not beef. But it was great.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

missrafaelas Awesome! So happy to hear it was a hit with your hubby! Shelby

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

Thank You for sharing!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Leslie my pleasure, it takes the mystery of what to do with that big tenderloin from Costco. Shelby

[@sajisflavourtales9257]

Mom.. You said well Thanks

[@retromolar1]

Interesting!

[@TheQueensCabinet]

Thanks Kelli, I just take my time and think of all the money I'm saving. :D SHelby

[@GuruishMike]

Thanks, this feels a bit less intimidating and doable than watching a professional do it.

[@Moore2Lifepantrylovinprepper]

kind of like skinning an animal. Honest to gosh Shelby I have never done a tenderloin and love Costco meat, so I am stashing this video so I have it in the future =)

[@TheQueensCabinet]

[@one1uv4ev3r]

$6.99/lb! That's crazy ridiculous pricing. I get excited when I see it going for $14.99/lb usually it's $19.99 for choice and $25.99 for prime where I live.

[@TheQueensCabinet]

I stocked up :D
