I did a grocery pick up from Whole Foods, figured I’d make a dry brined steak for Friday dinner. I opened the paper and got these. There’s no fat cap and so much silver skin. I’m going to cook them because we don’t waste food in this economy, but wtf??

    Yeah don’t buy steaks delivery from Whole Foods, they will just give you the worst available cut of whatever you asked for.

    This applies to everything btw, not just steaks.

    Your better off buying a $30 picanha roast with Walmart delivery. Never been disappointed

    Should have taken them back, or at least go to or call customer service and show them this picture. Completely unacceptable in my opinion, especially where prices stand.

    Why do they kinda remind me of red chicken thighs?

    Anyone else finding Whole Foods steak being lackluster as of late? I live next to one and the steaks I’ve gotten lately are chewy, cut terribly or I won’t even get one due to barely any marbling

    This makes me quite sad as a butcher for Whole Foods. My boss would kill me if we were caught doing it, but I can see how some places the counter workers may try to pack the least desirable steak for delivery. These look like they were already shit and then squished while they wrapped it.

    Looks a lot like the grass fed beef they sell.

    Probably best to go pick your own steaks in the future

    Hope you didn’t start the fire already for that

    Those look like what most 100% grass fed ribeyes look like.

    That’s why I like my bovine finished on corn

    Ribeyes and I doubt the shopper just grabs whatever.

    I’ve never gotten anything like that from WF and I get home delivery from them frequently. Would be requesting a refund on those, however.

    Don’t let any delivery service pick perishable contents

    The one on the right is a butchered Filet Mignon. Thr one on tbe left is a mystery.

    If you’re buying steaks, eyes on product is key. Imagine going to a grocery store and just grabbing the first thing at the top of the stack of meat without checking for marbling, etc.

    Well, you got exactly that. Someone that just grabbed the product without checking.

    Just don’t blame the employees there, it’s not their fault. They just don’t give a fuck.

    It’s labeled ribeye, they grabbed it, that’s what you got.

    Yeah, those are technically ribeyes, but they look like they were butchered by someone with a blindfold on. No fat cap, no eye definition, just chaos.

  16. Time to make a chorizo vinaigrette to add some flavor to those Jesus lol

    Worker goes to meat counter “I need 2 Ribeyes for delivery” meat guy “what’s the shittiest thing we can get away with”

    Exactly why I would never have someone pick my groceries for me
