Just saw this thread. I'm a fan of Porterhouse, so I also like New York/Kansas City Strip and filet. My wife likes filet. The best way I've found to buy it is as a whole tenderloin, then slice into steaks without any trimming. That leaves two muscles rather than the central filet only AND a little fat for flavor. Even with the "waste" at the end of the tenderloin it's half the cost (or less) of cut and trimmed Filet Mignon. I make steak tips and mushrooms with that bit anyway. We normally get about 10 steaks since I don't make them 2" thick and I pack them away with a vacuum sealer and freeze.

I love buying a whole tenderloin!
 
Here we go. This is an Ugly Steak. Best we can guess is it's a bottom sirloin or flap meat, marinated and seasoned by the butcher that sells it in Tucson. Soft and tender, full of flavor, and melts like buttah in you mouth. These are still thawing and will need to rest a bit before I cook them, but they go on the grill just like this.
