I get prime ny strips for $20/lb from my butcher. Sous vide and a sear makes a perfect meal for the wife and I ��

Did you have to go gray on that wine or AD finally come through for you?

Looks like a great evening! Enjoy to the fullest!

Would that be a grass-fed strip loin, about 14oz or so?

What kinda prep you thinking?

Costco is where I get my steak. High quality and reasonable. Underrated butcher.

Picked a few steaks to try last week at a farmer's market in Mammoth. For a good grass fed steaks prices were more than fair.

Those look truly exceptional. Interesting to see bone-in strips; dinner see those too often.

A5 Wagyu ain't cheap.

3-6 month dry aged ribeye and NY for about $50-60/lb is pretty decent.

On most people's wrists, the meat was carefully wrapped in real leather.

We stopped buying steak and decided to get half a free range grass fed cow. It ended being 330 pounds of meat. Buying the meat like this is actually way cheaper

True story. We also a have a beef slaughtered yearly. But, when you do it yourself it can be tough to get some of the best cuts out due to the waste. So we tend do do mostly burger, roast, t-bones, ribeyes, sirloins, and buy the “best” cuts elsewhere.

Props to you for slaughtering your own cow. Do you wear your rolex when doing it?

This is what we do as well. We usually split a whole cow with a friend. Good tax write off too when we buy from our local High School FFA.

I envy all the people who have room to store 300 pounds (136kg) of beef.

Same here.

I am not sure if that is just an East Coast thing or not though with respect to Coscto carrying insanely high-quality meats. There aren't a ton of companies in my area offering USDA Prime beef, but my Coscto routinely has about 5-8 different cuts available in Prime grade. Top sirloin cap is probably my favorite.

I also like how they stock sockeye salmon year round and occasionally even chinook salmon.

If anyone has yet to try various heirloom breeds you're missing out.

Absolute favorite of mine was an Ancient White Park porterhouse.
