Don't let high food prices put out your summer grilling plans

Ignite the summer grilling season on Memorial Day with three helpful beef buying tips from The Tender Filet

Monroe, WI (PRWEB) May 20, 2008 -- With food prices on the rise across the country, it's important to get the most flavor and value out of your summer meat purchases. Gary Schwager, President of The Tender Filet, a leading purveyor of quality meats-by-mail, offers beef lovers three simple tips on how to get the most taste from the grill this summer. These helpful hints will assure that every bite of beef tastes as good as--if not better than--the last when grill lovers kick off the summer grilling season this Memorial Day.

1. "When buying beef, look for meat that has been appropriately aged. While you might think aging beef sounds strange, it's during this process that the juices are absorbed into the meat, enhancing the flavor and tenderizing the steaks." The Tender Filet consistently ages its beef for 21-28 days to achieve the most tender, flavorful meats available online and by catalog.

2. "Another important consideration is the cut--you don't go just anywhere to get your hair cut and the same goes for meat. Experienced meat buyers know they get more use and flavor out of their beef if it's cut to restaurant-quality specifications. Most meats found in supermarkets are not cut with that level of care and can be less economical due to increased waste." The Tender Filet's average meat cutter has 15 years of cutting experience.

3. "A final tip is to plan meals ahead of time and buy meat in larger quantities to take advantage of deals. For holidays like Memorial Day, we find customers buy in large amounts so they can portion use throughout the summer. To make this easier for our customers, The Tender Filet offers a credit plan with low monthly payments for ease of shopping."
