Okay, so this 73 27 ground beef was 3.99 and the 96 4 ground beef was also 3.99 but 85 15 ground beef was like 7 dollars, if I just get a pound of each and combine them did I just save half my money for 2 pounds? Or am I missing something? EDIT: I made ground beef and house potatoes in the oven and put cheese on it all, seasoned everything, it was really good, mixed it up a bunch but it was still fine. the meat was frozen a few weeks ago when Ibought it so its not expired. I am a 21 year old college student, do not have the money to buy a grinder. and for anyone wondering the beef was bought in kansas. ALSO my shirt is just oversized and wrinkled, that is how my shirt happened to be in that position I am wearing navy and tan shorts.

Arguing with a friend

My friend ordered this $85 filet mignon at a steakhouse. He was pretty frustrated that it was not the medium rare that he asked for. We all thought that it looked very rare, and suggested he sent it back to the chef. The steak returned and seemed like it wasn’t even re-cooked as it appeared very similar to when a first came out- definitely no changes. See picture, curious on what you all think?

I only had 1lb of farmer butcher ground beef but needed more for the recipe I was making. Had to pick some up at the local grocery store and couldn't believe the different in look (and consistency while cooking)

Cannot WAIT to eat them.

I had a door to door salesman come by today with a truck full of meat and I ended up buying the following for 270$ usd

6 12oz non Japanese wagyu prime New York strips

6 8 oz "sushi grade" ahi tuna fillets

15 Kobe beef patties

I took a chance here (usually don't if I'm not informed. I was also quite hungry at the time).

curious if I got ripped off or if I did ok. I don't know much about fancy meats. I ate one of the strips and it was delicious but I also think popeyes is delicious so I'm not sure my opinion is valid.

also in so cal if that matters.

Edit: looks like they got me fellas. Thanks for all the replies! Hopefully more ignorant people like me see this so they don't get fooled like I did. Should have known better.

Edit 2: I don't know why the thread got locked but I made a 2nd post that has more details about the interaction and the sellers here: https://www.reddit.com/r/meat/comments/1qf4k0s/did_i_get_scammed_pt_2/

Turned out great! Amoker went out so I ended up finishing in the oven for a few hours at 180.

I don't know about you guys but I prefer to buy my steaks on the side of the road out of a cooler on the back of a truck in 95 degree weather from a dubious source.

I’m not expert but I’m 95% sure this is not pork loin roast.

Warmed $14 ribeye to room temp from the fridge by resting on counter, patted dry with paper towel, hand ground salt and pepper rubbed in. Regular kitchen pan with stovetop set on high with table spoon of vegetable oil (to avoid smoke and so I could hit high enough temps) for ~1min each side. It was delicious.

Look at this disgrace. “Our freezing process sometimes breaks the packaging and causes freezer burn…” Sorry, after giving them a mulligan multiple times now, that nonsense doesn’t cut it. Fix your shit but you’re not getting my $300/month anymore.

I’ve loved it since i was a kid and never known what is it called lol

I ask this because /r/tonightsdinner is completely shitting on this and saying it’s still mooing. I think it’s cooked fine for a prime rib roast, or am I mistaken?

These things are massive, each one took up a while full sized dinner plate. We at them for two days. They weee amazing

Is this gimmicky? Sure! Was it fun to work with my local butcher to put this together and then cook it? Absolutely! Would I do it again? Nah, I prefer a more traditional rib roast.

The marrow was tasty and I ate some on bread and some I made into a compound butter that I melted over the prime rib after slicing. I could’ve pulled the roast sooner and then sear the body too (only the end caps got seared off). Still delicious & a fun way to feed my friends.
