food STEAK!!

[HopsNBarley]

I agree that PRIME is nothing special. 
But obviously someone thinks it is.
LMFAO!

 

[zdecker]

We have banned choice and select now...our Costco carries 10 different PRIME cuts

Makes sense then. You're spoiled .

I know where I'm headed tommorow. We shop at Costco about once a month, for some reason I've never really taken a close look at their meat. Shame on me.

 

[grantmichaels]

Yeah Chris.
 
Post us a good flatiron or petite sirloin.
 
We like truly shhitty cuts.

 
I have to concur on flatiron ... the SRF one's were really NOT GOOD ...

 

[D3monic]

Very nice! Only thing better would be a nice shot of the inside, but I get it, you scarfed it down to quick, as would I. Good job.

I thought about it, even tried it but the only pic didnt look very good and I didn't take the time for others

I can't tell who's being sarcastic about steak cuts.
 
: shrug :

You kidding me? That pic not good?!!!
 
Hella juicy, shows off the meat, shallow depth of field, that's one of the best pics you've ever taken!

 

[D3monic]

I can't even tell who's being sarcastic...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

That pic is money no sarcasm.
 
Wait. Is it suspended in air???? This pic just got better!

 

[grantmichaels]

It's not one of the best he's ever taken - for me, but it's better than not including it, for sure ...

 

[D3monic]

Crack, it's what's for dinner.. lol

 

[crazyheat]

Can i put Prime Rib up in hurr?

 

[geeme]

Z-man can just change the title of this thread to SLAB O'MEAT - that prime rib has me drooling!

 

[grantmichaels]

That's a nice looking meal ...

Now I want croutons!

You know bettern' most that many cuts are pretty much junk.
 
Flatiron, sirloin strip, petite sirloin, et.al. are in that category.
 
Most meat cutters will tell you the same.
 
Most often its Select or even worse, Utility grade.
 
Not even sure if Utility is even a grade anymore. 
 
Good luck chewing on it.
 
And then there's tri-tip.
 
More marketing crap.
 
Better ground than a steak so how good is that?

I am usually down with the TB wisdom, but I really like   tri-tip steak .  I was eating it well before I even knew it was tri-tip.  The place I got it from cut it  into these ugly rectangular strips and sold it as  bottom sirloin steak tails.

 

[crazyheat]

I am partial to tri-tip myself

 

[LUCKYDOG]

I love Tri-Tip - takes a bit to cook properly but great on a sammich or plate as long as it gets into my piehole 

 

[SmokenFire]

I will make any cut of meat taste good, but I rarely make 'steak' out of anything other than a nicely marbled ribeye or strip (or filet if someone wants to play at being fancy).  Don't care for tbones - always felt they were rather bad examples of their parts.  Love nearly all cuts of beef though, tri tip and flatiron included.  I just don't make the classic 'season and sear, plate the steak' type dishes with em.  Made beef rendang w Tri Tip following Buddy's post about it and it was damn fine delicious.   

 

[The Hot Pepper]

TB trippin'!
 
Tri-tip is a staple meat on the smoker. You made rendang with it? PICS!!! You know that's my fave.

 

[grantmichaels]

tri-tip from a reputable source, that sells it whole, is beautiful ... i smoked one a few months ago, and it was 4.5 lbs (huge) and top notch ...
 
handled it like a standing rib roast, took the center to 128F (I go three over for medium-rare, not rare) ...
 
now, at the grocery store, they label some shit tri-tip too ... that shit's tough and nasty ... and it usually comes in 3x pieces ...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

3 pieces lol. Tri-again!
