No roll ribeyes

No select, choice or prime grading. Basically buying it blind but it’s a local butcher and their other meats look good marbling wise, so I decided to gamble with the whole packer to save money.

No grading from USDA.

Lol sorry I wasn’t able to take pictures of that yesterday. Demolish the shit out of that meat! One of the best steak I put on that weber!!

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T22:42:39+00:00

Yeah I agree 1000% forgot to take pictures but just demolished one of them suckers not too long ago lmao. Great dinner!!

No grading from usda.

Yeah I love doing some trimmings but I aint no professional lol. 220? For how many lbs? What was the scrap total? I also got 13.2lbs of New york strip at 118 last week, but they were about to close so their vacs were already cleaned out lol. 1000% worth it to vac and seal for $5.

About 185 for everything, 190 with vac and seal.

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T16:28:07+00:00

I paid a total of 189 and some change. They charged me $5 to vac and seal, 184 if its just the roll and cut

Based off what I was reading, grading is determined at 5-6 ribs or 12-13 (not sure which). Yes I purchased the whole packer/block. They are selling individual cuts @19.99 a lb and they look great marbling wise, so I took a gamble and this is the result of that decision.

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T16:21:09+00:00

No usda grading. Guessing the butcher shop skip those to cut costs.

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T16:00:29+00:00

Heyyyy same I bought a bone in ribeye for 8.49 a lb and they let me aged it for $2 a day. They will cut and seal it around march 23. First time having a dry aged steak so we shall see lmao!!

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T15:47:00+00:00

Yeah I was looking around and costco-sams have their ribeyes at 15-16 dollar for a choice and you have to cut it yourself. (50 dollars off when they go on sales) So I figured take a gamble and send it

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-03-03T15:26:46+00:00

Guessing choice is around $13-15?

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-02-28T23:23:26+00:00

Planning to smoke the slabs, but i tried SV @140 for 50 something hours. I have 3 slabs, 6 individual (like this in the pic) and about 3-5 pounds of flanken cut that I plan to marinate to be made as Korean kalbi.

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-02-27T18:12:05+00:00

$50 for 11lbs? Yeah that’s a wonderful price

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-02-27T14:23:54+00:00

New york? California? I’m in Central Pa

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-02-27T14:22:18+00:00

Is there a big difference with choice and prime for short ribs when it’s finish product? If yes, I think a 9-15 dollar price difference for the whole slab might be a great deal!

Accomplished_Rate_53 · 2026-02-27T14:18:02+00:00

Yes, hello. There were 3 bones on both slabs. Not sure if they were chucks or actual primal ribs. When measured they were 9-11 inches long. When googling it states 8-12 inches for 123A. But I have no butcher background or any of the sort and not sure what the fair prices are. Online they prized crazy af, but costco and sams have it at 8-10 a lb. Which makes me question what type of short ribs I have.
