    Blade tenderized makes me sad. You don’t need to tenderize meat with this marbling.

    these are short ribs at normal short rib prices. love em but i wouldn’t use them for steaks

    This is fair market value for short ribs lol . You paid $20 for $20 worth of gas.

    Nothing special here, pretty typical for costco.

    It’s like people have never seen short ribs before. This subreddit is the most unknowledgeable about its topic more than any subreddit I’ve ever seen. 

  6. These are great. I get these all the time from Costco cuz I like to cut them up with the house and then buy them for protein for a rice ball

    Way more expensive than where im at

    Slice them semi thin and eat it as KBBQ. Its gonna blow your mind. Me and my friends by this cut at Costco and do it all the time. You can even marinate them with premade galbi marinade that you can get at an Asian market too.

    Nah, none of that blade-tenderized stuff for me.

    FYI you gotta cook these low and slow, these are not like a typical steak. They’ll be inedible if you just cook them normally.

  11. Pretty standard short rib price. Unless I’m missing a joke?

    If you try anything other than long, low, and slow with those you’ll be chewing for eternity. Look into braising. And mashed potatoes. Then you got a meal.

    Is the lottery in the room with us right now?

    If Pavilions is in your area, I find the usda primes there normally for that same price

  14. My butcher friend told me to stay away from Costco meat add they contain a lot of parasites and I like mine on the rate side.. just FYI. Sorry to be adebby downer

    I did the exact same thing a couple months ago—I got super psyched about the marbling but I found out there’s more connective tissue than a ribeye, making it a bit chewy. If you sous vide for a long time at temps > 133F it’ll break down

    You bought a $5 scratch ticket and won $2. These are chuck, not even a true short rib. You can buy a retail priced $6-$7/lb 7-bone steak to get a chuck short rib, top blade steak, and chuck eye all at once.

    The meat lottery? Sounds like the name of the book until they settled on THE HUNGER GAMES
