Surf and Tuff dinner/date night every Friday for past 35 years with the misses. Must admit it has gotten a lot more expensive

Especially the surf part If it was anything we catch! LOL

Our daughter's birthday dinner tonight and prime rib is on the menu.
$92 worth of meat doesn't look like much these days.

I made 5 lbs of baked meatballs with half ground pork yesterday.
Freshco has it on for 3.49/lb
Costco ground beef for the other half.
Easy and cost per serving is pretty low.

Thriftys has 2 for 1 back and side ribs on sale.
2 big racks for 20 bucks

We buy racks of pork (rib end?). Poor man's prime rib.

We actually prefer a crown roast of port now to prime rib. On the treager to 140 internal. Incredible.

My wife was at Costco yesterday and they had AAA strip loins on sale and $45 off a check out.

Price $231 - $45 = $186
$186 divided by 6.42kg = $29kg or $13.20lb

That is a great deal. I will be cutting it up this afternoon and send out a photo of the steaks.

Got the loin cut into 1 1/4 steaks and one kabobs trimmings.
After cutting them and trimming them the price per lb went up. The center of the fat cap was thick so look for a thinner cap if you are buying one.

I ended up with 9.6lb of steaks at $19.38 lb. Sometimes I think it is better to pay a little more at a Thrifty's sale and choose the steaks I want.

They sure look good and we will BBQ one tonight.

Glad they were good.
Last whole loin I bought there was very tough. Should have taken it back.

Same here...

 

[Doug]

It was the small loin they had, so I guess we were lucky.
I still like Thrifty's meat the best and in the future I will be paying a little more for the better quality.

I bought a whole rib from Costco a few years back and it was unreal quality. The next year I bought another and it was so much worse. It was actually hard to finish it. It sucks to commit to a whole rib and not know whether it'll be good or not. However I keep going, and I bought a whole tenderloin a few months ago which has been awesome.

Triple A should be triple A. Quality shouldn't be hit or miss. Had another incredible double A the other night from Swelaps market.

Grading can come from just one cut made at the slaughterhouse but may not be reflected the same throughout the cow, is the way I understand it. It could even be that one particular cow was more rambunctious than it's friends and developed a little more toughness to him. I've seen extremely marbled steaks that were horribly tough. I think there's a lot that goes into meat quality that you'd rarely know about until you take a bite.
