Description

🔗 Save Money On Meat With My Complete Butcher's Method I teach: https://frankmillerbutcher.com You walk past this package at Costco almost every trip — a flat, folded piece of dark red meat sitting a few feet from the ribeye at half the price. Nine out of ten shoppers assume it's stew meat or trim, and after 31 years behind a butcher block, I can tell you exactly why they're wrong. In this video I break down where this cut comes from on the animal, the five reasons people skip it, and why France calls it bavette and Brazil calls it fraldinha and both treat it like a delicacy. Ribeye runs $18 to $28 a pound at most Costco locations. This cut usually sits between $9 and $14 — and prepared right, a lot of trained palates prefer it. I walk you through my 8 cooking steps, the 5 mistakes that ruin it, and my honest verdict on whether it really beats ribeye. The answer isn't a simple yes or no. If steak prices have you rethinking dinner, this is the package I want you to stop and pick up next time.
