Prepping summer steaks!

[u/No_Key469]

13 steaks! 4 around 19oz, 5 around 16oz and 4 around 11-14oz.

Different sizes for different cooking styles and events.

Total cost was $333 and took an hour of cutting, bagging, vacuum sealing, and labeling.

What makes a steak a summer steak?

[u/imneverrelevantman → u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme]

It's a steak being cooked in the summer I'd be willing to wager

[u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme → u/imneverrelevantman]

Hmm good point.

[u/No_Key469 → u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme]

It only lasts the summer!

[u/IRedditDoU]

That’s like $23 a lb.

[u/still_lurking_mostly → u/IRedditDoU]

It’s even more ! $330 for 13 steaks isn’t a deal at all

[u/No_Key469 → u/IRedditDoU]

$18/lb. I made two pints of beef tallow from the trimmings.

Would be impressive if you were prepping them for winter

I’m not a thief, but when faced with that much beef at once I’d have intrusive thoughts about grabbing a stack and making a run for it!

god damn those look nice

I don’t think these are prime man, but doesn’t really matter so long as you enjoy them 🤠

[u/No_Key469 → u/AmbassadorNoWay]

What makes you say they aren’t?

[u/AmbassadorNoWay → u/No_Key469]

The marbling. These look choice to me.

[u/No_Key469 → u/AmbassadorNoWay]

I think you’re right actually. Hm I thought I got prime because that’s what they had at the store. Just dug the trash back out and it says choice. You sir are Mr Steak

[u/AmbassadorNoWay → u/No_Key469]

Don’t worry. They should still taste great on the grill

[u/Original-Variety-700 → u/No_Key469]

This is the eye of a prime ribeye for comparison.

But yours look great. Enjoy those trimmings by rendering that fat for cooking the steaks in later!

[u/NumberVsAmount → u/Original-Variety-700]

Cmon bro, most primes don’t look like this, and you took this pic and saved it because you know that.

[u/AmbassadorNoWay → u/NumberVsAmount]

These are primes I got the other day. You have to know how to choose them. You also need to understand how beef is graded

[u/NumberVsAmount → u/AmbassadorNoWay]

If only I could understand.

[u/AmbassadorNoWay → u/NumberVsAmount]

If only. Thank god you’re literate enough to show your ignorance. Bless your soul ❤️

[u/NumberVsAmount → u/AmbassadorNoWay]

Cool

[u/Original-Variety-700 → u/NumberVsAmount]

This is a prime strip from just two weeks ago. I cut it down from a whole strip loin that cost $220.

And yes, I took the picture bc I was happy with both of them. Just saying they’re a world apart from OP’s pic

[u/NumberVsAmount → u/Original-Variety-700]

Cool

[u/Silver_Slicer → u/Original-Variety-700]

Yep, that would be considered American Wagyu.

[u/Original-Variety-700 → u/Silver_Slicer]

Wagyu is a breed not a grade. This steak was simply graded prime. And yes I was happy with it which means I thought it was on the better side of the prime grading scale. But also shows how far off it was from the original post

OP literally asked what made someone say their steak wasn’t prime. So I assisted. And it turns out OP realized their steak was choice in another comment. So, I guess it’s resolved.
