STOP Paying $14 a Pound at COSTCO (Retired Butcher)

📗 Save Over $1,000 on Meat With My Butcher’s Money-Saving Methods: https://salpetralia.com The Choice New York strip at Costco runs about $13.99 a pound, and most families buy it for every steak night. Three feet down the same case there are steaks for about $4 a pound less that eat just as well, if you cook each one the way its muscle wants. In this video, I show you the five steak swaps I make at the Costco meat case, one for every kind of steak night: The three free checks at the case: what the muscle did, what you are cooking tonight, and the small per-pound line on the tag The flat iron for the hot-pan night, about $9.99 a pound, pulled at the USDA 145 degrees with a 3-minute rest The top sirloin for the grill and a crowd, about $9.99, salted the night before and sliced thin across the grain The flank for heroes and salads, about $10.99, and the one slicing move that makes it tender The plate short ribs for the Sunday pot, about $8.99, braised three hours in red wine and tomato The tri-tip steak, the one pack I put back, and why the strip on sale beats it The arithmetic: $8 a steak night for a family of four, about $416 a year Chapters: 0:00 The $14 strip at Costco 1:04 Number one, the flat iron 2:19 Why the flat iron works 3:48 The three checks at the case 4:51 Number two, the top sirloin 6:13 Number three, the flank 7:32 Number four, the plate short ribs 8:49 Number five, the one I put back 10:32 Richie's flat iron test 11:25 The arithmetic 14:38 What to do this week This is not a promise of $4 off every pound you buy. The flat iron and the top sirloin save about $4 a pound, the flank about $3, and the short ribs save by how many people they feed. The Choice strip is a fair price for what it is, and it is still the best plain steak for a hot pan on a birthday. Prices here are from a Costco price list this year; yours will differ.
