USDA Select @ $5.98 a pound? Wow that's pricey!

Salute', TB.

Cuts of meat are graded by USDA as such going from lower to higher...

Utility
Select
Good
Choice
Prime

That cut of ribeye for whatever reason was graded as select which in itself is not bad. Perhaps the inspector didn't like the marbling or the whole loin or side pre cutting was lacking in fat and/or density. I can find Prime Ribeye on sale for 7.99 so 5.98 is very high for select.


How did the 'thang slice? We didn't get a money shot on the plate after slicing. How 'bout the smoke...how was the overall flavor of the meat? We gots to know!

Salute', TB.

Stores often play with the names too...things like "Choice Select" or "Butcher's Prime Select"...making it sound better than it is.

Oh, and if meat is TOOO bright red, it's likely old meat that's been CO2'd.

TB first is Prime, second is Choice, and Select is third. There isn't a Good. You mean standard maybe?

Damn! When did that change? Geez Louise I'm feelin' old. Suddenly I'm feeling worthless and weak. Call the vet. I might need to be put down.

Salute', TB.
