Question on pre-cut meat from a messy family dinner

Everyone says real butchers only hand-cut, but when my uncle dropped the whole tenderloin, store-bought strips kept the party going. Maybe having a backup isn't so wrong.

My friend Sarah totally tripped carrying a big bowl of homemade beef tips to the patio. They went all over the deck. She had a bag of pre-cut teriyaki strips in the fridge as a backup and just cooked those instead. It completely saved the party.

Oh man, that sounds like a total nightmare moment! Spilling all that hard work on the deck must have been so frustrating, especially with everyone waiting. Huge props to Sarah for keeping her cool and having a solid backup ready to go. That quick switch really did save the whole party!

Technically teriyaki is the sauce, not the shape of the meat. Still works as a great backup plan.

Ever notice how the backup meat is always more reliable than the people carrying it? Sounds like those strips did more heavy lifting than your uncle, lol.
