NEVER Buy Ribeye at Costco Again — Get This $5 Cut Instead

🔗 Save Money On Meat With My Complete Butcher’s Method I teach: https://frankmillerbutcher.com Standing at the Costco meat case watching a two-steak tray of choice ribeye ring up over $60 is a rough way to start a Saturday. I've watched people do that arithmetic and put it in the cart anyway. About fifteen feet from that case is a whole chuck roll, 15 to 20 pounds in the bag, and at my warehouse it's been $4.99 a pound. Inside it is the chuck eye, the same muscle as the ribeye, just called something cheaper once it crosses into the shoulder. In this video I open one up and show you the seven things I get out of a single bag: tallow, stew meat, shaved hot pot slices, burger, a Sunday roast, the Denver steak, and the chuck eye steaks themselves. I'll show you the 116A code on the packer's label, how to find the rib end, why I cut every steak an inch and a half thick, and exactly when to stop cutting steaks and start cutting roast. I'll also correct something I've said for years. Out of a 15 to 20 pound roll you get maybe four, five, sometimes six steaks that truly beat the ribeye, not a bagful. My last roll weighed just under 17 pounds and cost $84. After trimming I had 14 pounds of usable beef, a jar of tallow, and two pounds of burger, about six dollars a pound for everything. At the end I salt a Costco ribeye and a chuck eye the same way overnight, cook them in the same pan, and cut them open next to their price tags. If beef prices have pushed you toward chicken, this one's for you.
