If you’ve been to one of America’s premier steakhouse chains like Ruth’s Chris, Mortons, Smith & Wollensky, or an upmarket independent operator in your local market, like me, it’s likely you have paid $30 – $50 for a premium beef filet, usually around 6 ounces. Add a couple sides and drinks and you’re easily at the hundred dollar market for dinner.<\/p>\n

Frequently you’ll see ‘filets’ on sale at grocery stores, personally sized portions, usually about four ounces, for anywhere between $4.99 – $9.99.<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise when I found a bunch from “Great American Steak Company” for $1.99 each.<\/p>\n

Great American is a retail brand of \u00a0the American Foods Group<\/a>, part of the Rosen’s Group, a diversified operator founded in 1946 in Fairmont, Minnesota, about 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Among their other brands are the Sheboygan Sausage Company<\/a> and Big City Reds Hot Dogs<\/a>. \u00a0According to the USDA plant number on the packaging, this beef was processed at another Rosen subsidiary, Skylark Packing<\/a> in Omaha.<\/p>\n

At the price, I was ‘afraid’ the product would be not real muscle meat, but instead a rolled or ‘pressed chopped and formed’ piece of beef. \u00a0I was wrong.<\/p>\n

The steak was a moist, flavorful single cut of beef, wrapped in bacon. \u00a0Wish I had bought a hundred.<\/p>\n
