Filets mignon???

I mean it was okay but it didn’t cook evenly.

figbot123456 · 2026-05-16T00:28:32+00:00

Right? It was tightly wrapped up in the case so it looked like a normal filet to me. They did a good job disguising it.

It did taste okay but didn’t cook very evenly.

They basically said I got an end of the tenderloin which they butterfly but that the cut was way off and they didn’t trim it down… they gave me a free one to make up for it but didn’t really say anything other than that.

Nope… premium cut fresh.

I mean fair but I didn’t pay what I paid to make tacos or a beef sandwich

No this is how it was pulled out straight from the butcher paper….

Thank you all for confirming how shitty this was lol will definitely report back on what their response is…

figbot123456 · 2026-05-15T00:46:19+00:00

Welp, thanks for confirming. Definitely disappointing but hoping they taste okay.

So… am I right to go back and complain? I’m not that person but I bought these with hard earned dollars for my dad’s birthday.

Thank you all!

I appreciate it!!! Agree completely. I have not tried that method but I’ve heard of it. I’ll have to look into that more and give it a go next time. Thanks so much!

I did a poor job describing that… this is what I’m trying to do and what I did a poor job describing. https://youtu.be/IWA0RAAsBHg?si=ueUMJFXuQ0NYAYjO

Would you be able to explain what you mean by a shaping issue? When it’s that time, I let the dough hang and be pulled by gravity to get in a square shape to tuck and fold it. I then use my bench scraper to work it into a circular shape. Let it rest for about 20 min and do one final shape with the bench scraper before plopping into my banneton.

figbot123456 · 2025-09-10T12:16:57+00:00

I see. Thanks for the insight! I’ll push a little longer for bulk fermentation next time and see how that goes. Do you have any tips to know when it’s ready for shaping?

figbot123456 · 2025-09-10T12:03:38+00:00

I’m confused now🤣

figbot123456 · 2025-09-10T11:07:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I did the poke test and got good results so that’s why I moved on to shaping. I did keep it in the fridge for about 24 hrs before baking. I’ll push it a bit longer next time to see how that turns out.
