I wondered if anybody else caught that upon first read also...   

I prefer "beautifully marbled" when choosing adjectives for my ribeyes, but that's just me.

I'm sure it was beautifully marbled, etc but I actually love the extra fat.   But, I'm also a degenerate.

It's gonna be a great summer...

meh. i want mine to have plenty of fat on the outside of the cut, but inside i want it to be pretty lean. i usually dont order ribeyes because i dont like the fat all over the place. these cuts were just what i wanted.

Why buy a ribeye then?  why not just get a cut of steak that you like?

I can't freeze beef anymore.  Just can't do it.

I don't either.  That said, I would guess pretty much all of what is bought at your avg Price Chopper has already been frozen.

The two grocers by me suck for buying beef.  Hy-Vee and Hen House.  Have to buy from behind the counter, all fresh and expensive.

I can't even imagine buying beef from a supermarket...  If I didn't get beef from home, I'd drive the extra way to find a local area butcher that could provide pasture grazed local beef.

Sure, it's a little more expensive and time consuming, but that shouldn't matter to a K-State grad.

Grass fed sucks tho.

I take it you've never lived outside the "city limits"...

Generally speaking, the beef at a supermarket is "feedlot" beef.  Meaning, basically its cattle that have done nothing but stand in their own muddy crap for most of their lives and have eaten little but dry grasses and the cheapest of grains.

Farm, pasture raised beef is also fed grain typically.  However, they graze on fresh grass at their leisure while being fed higher quality grains as well to help "fatten them up" to provide the tasty marbling. 

HTH

[cDubya]

For the record, that beef was purchased at a farm/packing company an hour from where I live, and totally worth the drive. Definitely better than any supermarket.

Take it easy there Jump to Conclusions Mat guy...I'm well aware, probably more than you apparently, about the beef industry.

When I say grass fed, I was speaking to the certified organic beef that is fed 100% grass it's entire life.  I have bought a side of beef of that variety that I didn't care for.  I'm all on board with grass fed and grain finished.  FWIW, I've never seen a calf in a feed lot.  Typically heifers and steers are either sold to feed lots to be finished, or they pay a fee to have a lot finish them, and afterwards they are sold to market.  No grain fed cow has spent even the majority of its life in a feed lot.
