Made some space in my freezer and headed to Costco now. Since it can be hard for some people (like myself) to cut a consistent thickness across all steaks, here is a cutting tip I learned from my grampa....use the width of your knife as your gauge. Find a knife blade that is about 1.25 inches tall (or as thick as the steak you want). lay the spine at the edge of the meat, now without picking up the knife from the meat, rotate the knife so it is now blade down....away you go. Same size cuts every time.

Another cheatcode is to shop standing rib roasts during the holidays (christmas/easter). Publix and other major chains sell them at as much as $8-9/lb savings and you get the ribs as well. Sometimes still attached, others not. I bought 8 last easter and they lasted me a while and I'm full carnivore.

@homerfantastic 7 ай бұрын

That's exactly what we do. Our local Publix has rib roasts at Christmas at 6.99/lb. We buy about 6 of them and separate the ribs for the smoker. I steak a few out and leave the rest as roasts. Thanksgiving I buy 5 turkeys at .49/lb and Hams at easter for around 1.29/lb. Having a large freezer and a good vacuum sealer is essential.

As a cook, I know your videos will resonate with the people who are looking to kick their game up. It’s not hard, but you have to know the product you’re asking for which is tough for a lot of folks. Doing the butching thing, most aren’t really comfortable doing it. Going to a COSTCO or other store and paying for a sub primal is daunting. I actually love breaking subprimals down. It reminds me of the animal and the care that we have to display. The same is when you take a whole fish and break it down. There is something special in preserving what you have caught.

@jontnoneya3404 7 ай бұрын

@@BP-nj6fi - Let's talk freezing. When you say "no effort freezing" are you simply throwing the steak packs into the freezer right as you buy them without doing anything to them? I've heard, but haven't experimented with it, that the steaks won't last as long that way. When I heard that, I bought a vacuum sealer and never looked back. Now, if I'm not going to eat all the steaks right way in the precut pack, I'll take them out of the pack and vacuum seal them before freezing. I bought the vacuum sealer at Walmart and a box of bags at Costco for under $100 and that's a heck of a lot of bags!! It'll probably seal up 4-6 subprimal roasts cut into steaks.....maybe more. What are your freezing methods?

@BP-nj6fi 7 ай бұрын

@@jontnoneya3404 What I meant is buying the Costco butchered steaks you don’t have the volume and can buy what you will use short term, without having to freeze any steaks. For freezing, I generally use zip lock freezer bags. I’m pretty good at getting most of the air out of them. If I were consistently buying bulk cuts and storing for longer periods, I would definitely invest in a vacuumed sealer.

The older we were the more we got to cut more and better cuts of meat. However it has been so long that I forgot all of the trade secrets…you reminded me how valuable learning the cuts of the meat, locating the prime and sub prime. Those words echoed in my mind and I just sat back and enjoyed listening to the sound of a passionate meat cutter. THANK YOU. Patrick

This trick still saves money under a fair comparison with Costco whole ribeye versus precut. At my local Costco, a whole ribeye is $13.59 per pound (Choice), while precut is $16.99 per pound (also Choice). At an average of 3.25 pounds precut, and 13.35 for whole, you're still saving well over $40. The savings buys you almost an additional precut pack, plus trimmings for ground beef or tallow.

Another great video, thank you! What I've been doing for the last few years now, is I wait for Nov and Dec to roll around and when the meat dept at the grocery stores start selling their Choice Strip Loin and Ribeye roasts for 5.99-7.99 lb. for the holidays, I purchase a whole sub primal from them and cut it up myself and vacuum seal and then I have Ribeyes and NY Strips the whole year round. The Chef's Store is a great recommendation if you are near one. For some reason my Costco and Sam's Club do not have great prices on beef anymore. I will also purchase the sub primals for the Chuck Roll and Top Blade (Flat Iron) and section out the cuts as well.

You can save a lot of money buying chuck eye steaks. They look identical to ribeye as far as marbling goes but they tend to have a bit more fat around the edges. (Not a problem for me 🤪) It is NOT what most people think of when they think of a cut of chuck steak. You notice when he's describing the parts of the cow there's a transition from Chuck to Rib. The chuck eye is just a little smaller in diameter than ribeye but comes from the same are a little closer towards their shoulder. Sometimes they're not quite as pretty because it seems to taper down smaller the farther from the rib it goes but I can honestly say there's times I've had chuck eye that was more tender and better flavor than ribeye for 2x the price. Prices fluctuate by region but I've seen chuck eye as low as half the price of ribeye but it's always at least $5/lb less.

Wait until a holiday weekend where they expect a lot of BBQ. Memorial day/Labor Day/ 4th of July etc. Go to Safeway (Albertsons) or Frys (Kroger) and you can get a whole ribeye roast (choice) for 4.99 or 5.99 a lb (bone in). I'm in AZ for reference. Safeway cuts into steaks or will cut the ribs off instead for free, Kroger charges usually. Costco is better quality but you are paying over double of what you could be paying. I vacuum seal for freezer storage.. they easily freeze for a year without quality loss that way.

Next time you calculate savings pls remove the weight of the trimmed loss. It would still be a great deal but nice to get an apples-to-apples comparison of trimmed steak. You might also suggest how we might freeze and store these steaks because very few of us have any need for 14 steaks at once. Thank you, great video.

@silviamorales9896 4 ай бұрын

Vacuum seal and freeze until ready to eat. Defrost in the fridge, let it sit out for 30 min before cooking. Season as you like. I cook mine in the air fryer 7 min on each side for a perfect medium rare.

Pre-cut USDA choice ribeye steaks at Sam’s Club are $13.99/lb right now and I don’t have to worry about storing more than I can eat quickly. I like the idea of cutting your own so you can get them the thickeness you want and trim the fat the way you want but it’s not a huge savings when you get the pre-cut steak from the same source as the whole subprimal.

@thelog86 6 ай бұрын

Exactly. The difference in individual steaks and the hole loin is about .50c per pound. Ive never paid $21lb for even a prime ribeye. Those run about 18-19 per lb

I'll take A of course. The first time I bought a whole ribeye subprimal at Sam's (May 23) I got severe sticker shock...$347.00 for 27 lbs of meat, it was prime and it was great. I'm presuming the one you got for 13.49 a lb is choice.

@jontnoneya3404 7 ай бұрын

Wait $347/27 = $12.85 per pound. FOR PRIME? That's really an outstanding deal. And yes, the $13.49/lb price is what I'm seeing for Choice at my Costco. Prime goes for like $17.99 or so, it seems to fluctuate more than Choice. It's tough paying all that money but when you look at the per pound rate, and knowing how to properly vacuum seal and then freeze them, it's well worth it!! I haven't seen under $15/lb prices for Prime Ribeye in over a year.

@@steveludwig4200 - CAREFUL - that beef is often NOT USDA graded and it's often raised in Mexico where they can feed the cows anything....even stuff banned in the USA. If it's not graded USDA, Prime or Choice you have to assume it's select grade or even worse. Price isn't the only consideration bro.

@@jontnoneya3404These top tier grocery stores sell ONLY USDA grade meat. The ribeyes I spoke of are either Select or Choice and trust me, even the Select grade ribeyes are excellent as I grill them over mesquite or pecan wood. And these stores also sell Prime Top Sirloin (with the fat cap) for $7.99 when on sale.

I love this idea, but would have much rather seen a more fair price comparison. For example, a price comparison of ribeye steaks from Costco versus cutting your own steaks from a whole ribeye from Costco. It's not really a fair comparison to compare prices from two entirely different stores.

Glad I found your channel! I'm a senior on Social Security. Ribeye steaks have not been a part of my budget for a number of years now, as even $13.48/lb is a total extravagance. I do, however, practice what you're teaching here. Instead of buying the primal cut ribeye, I buy the sirloin or the round, depending on which is less money per lb, from my local grocery store. I then cut and grind it myself and vacu-seal it into 1 lb packages and sirloin tips/stew meat, which brings my cost per lb between $3.50 to $4.39 per lb. Needless to say, an 8 to 10 lb sirloin yields 8 to 10 weeks of beef meals. I've also learned to do this with pork loin for chops, and pork shoulder for sausage and sausages, bringing my cost per lb between $1.35 to $1.99/lb. Yes, it takes a little work and investment. I opted for a Kitchenaid Pro model mixer and collected attachments that allow me to grind meat and make sausages (Get the all-metal attachment), a vegetable strainer attachment to make sauce from my home grown tomatoes, and a pasta roller and cutter set. My adult son lives with me, and eat well!

Please don't eat pork at your age. Pork is the most damaging meat that contains parasites. Besides, God calls pork an unclean animal to not be consume.
