What's the date on them? How long would it take to sell that many at regular price?  In cryovac they should last a month easily. Can you transfer some to other stores?

Can you keep it at ad price for a while? Put a "managers special" sticker on each pakage.

Burgermiester did all the other options of transfers to other stores etc. have a manager special sign on them at the same price as 3 day sale. and Doc thats what I planned to do is try to slack out a few at a time but going to try to put some in my frozen bunker with roasting recipe and cross merchandise with some rubs and see if will work for the holidays. Im in a Savealot... Customers are basicly not even in the know as to what this cut is... And all the other savealots I talked to that surveyed these is havng the same problem..dont know what the deal was this time. Couldnt keep them in the case last time I ran them! I have some calls out to my restaurants and sportsman clubs I deal with. So hopefully I can clean them up...Thanks for the feedback on freezing and thawing I figured they would turn dark quick but was not sure... Im going to test some tomorrow
i froze this morning and see what kind of shelf life I get. I know how many i can get rid of within the month, but Ive never misordered beef this badly.. I I may throw them back in the ad for December. We have been running direct mailers and we bring a ton of traffic in but as any of you know in low income areas the money is gone by the 10th! But thanks for the responses! Sometimes I feel like Im on an island surrounded by no one who knows meat! Savealots are structured so weird like that you feel all alone!

What I would do with those is slice them and package them. If you don't have a vacuum sealer double wrap them and then put them in a box and freeze them. Let people know that you have them at a discounted price and that they are frozen to keep them fresh. Every now and then someone will come in and request some.

You are in luck that the holiday season is almost here. So if you can get them in the freezer put out a little sign saying ask us about our Filet Mignons and then when people ask explain what you have. You probably won't make much profit off them but you should be able to sell them above the wholesale cost and they don't have much waste.

That happens sometimes especially with stores in the Midwest where the economy is so rough. I tried to just order 2 or 3 pieces during the holiday season because they are probably not going to move. I can always get more if they sell out.

I had a lot of people who would come in once in awhile to pick up the frozen ones.

I never froze them whole then cut them later. I cut them first then froze packages of 6 stacked with wax paper between the steaks.

BTW

I cut my teeth at a Save A Lot up here in Michigan. I was there for 4 years and I know exactly what you mean by feeling all alone.

Thanks for the tips Mainmeatman! The Beef is not Sukarne its cow tenders I think Ramarc... is the brand... USA. And I like the Filet Steak Sandwich Idea and the marinated filet tips... The others I have done and the pic idea is great! I need to utilize our Facebook page more anyway! Thanks alot everyone and I guess this was my first real bad buy/order as a meat manager and I need to chill and know Ill clean it up like everything else... Just makes you feel like a dumb***!

I have sold thousands of these, they will last for a few weeks if the date is good . I have sold them with 8 weeks on them. Remember these are cow tenders, and they will age in the bag, so the older they are the better they get. Whether you freeze them or not the best way to sell them is whole. No matter how fresh they are, they will not hold up in your meat case if you cut them. If you have created a market for cow tenders they will be in great demand for Christmas. A few words of advice make sure you tell the customer exactly what they are, they are not choice or grass fed, they are cow tenders. That does not make them bad, but they are not as tender as choice or no roll and do not have the same flavor as choice or no roll. I tell people they are ungraded, meaning that they are not choice or no roll, and they are not as tender of flavorful as choice or no roll. But if cooked properly they are excellent. Again they are cow tenders sell them for what they are. One last word of advice, always peel the silver off the silver on these if tough no matter how it is prepared. good luck bill

They will freeze just fine. Slack out a few at a time and you will clean up by Christmas. We sold pre frozen ribs and fillets last year for the holidays and had very little complaints. After they are frozen try not to bang the boxes around to much as this will cause broken seals. after new years if you still have some left over drop the price way down and get rid of them.
