If purchasing from a grocery store/market, where do you typically buy steaks from?

The heb...sometimes walmart has a decent choice selection (but that's rare).

Usually whoever has the best deal. Albertsons has bone in choice ribeyes for $5.99 today so I'm grabbing a few tonight. Commissary in Fort Worth JRB is a good choice too when I'm over there.

I've heard good things about Costco, however don't have a membership (yet) as I just moved into an area where there is one close. I've done Central Market as well, which are good, just a little more expensive overall.

Costco is my go to play for brisket. Usually have prime packers in the $2.69 to $3.29 range.

The ribeye at Costco is hard to beat. They sell USDA prime for about $10 per pound. The steaks are well marbled and very good to eat.

I wait until HEB has their Prime 1 ribeyes or NY strips on sale, and then go to the counter and get 2 to cook and 2 to vacuum seal for later.

We butcher a cow and I recommend everyone do the same. Just go to your local meat locker.

My cousin recently turned some city coworkers onto the idea and they love it.

Beef is so cheap right now it doesn't really save that much. Especially if you just want steaks.

Moody's Meat Market, Sam's (whole loins or ribeyes), and HEB Plus (for their Prime 1).

Wife and I are looking at bigger houses, which a 3 car garage is one of my non-negotiable items. Once we get one, we've actually talked about getting a deep freezer and buying a whole or half cow.

HEB - at the counter.

Put some of Fiesta's Uncle Chris' Steak Seasoning on it and grill it. Better than 90% of the steaks you get in restaurants.

My 3rd garage bay is currently an N scale train layout with enough room for a riding mower

Unfortunately, the neighborhoods we're looking at (because of schools) were all built in the mid-90's or earlier. The plus side is that garages were larger back then, so a 3rd bay will be large enough. Hell, my inlaw's 3 car garage could probably fit 5 cars. They have a 20ft boat in their 3rd bay, and even with the trailer tongue, there is still enough room behind it for a work bench.

We think we will as well. Some of our friends do it and they say it's really cut down their grocery bills. The only meat they buy now is pork when it's on sale and chicken.

Whole cuts at Costco and cut my own. I've been to Pete's and other butchers. I think Costco is just as good and WAAAAY cheaper.

Central market if I'm cooking them properly.

Whatever grocery store is closest if theyre just going on the grill.

Costco or albertsons and I mainly buy ribeyes.

Run on Montreal steak seasoning. Marinate them in Worcestershire, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a small amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for at least a few hours.

Sear the outside, eat them suckers rare like a man, and graciously thank everyone when they tell you they're amazing steaks.

That's a great way to ruin a ribeye(the marinating)

Costco here as well. They have prime if you want it but their choice is good enough that I've never had any complaints so I tend to stick with it. And anything I'm not ready to cook I get some use out of my food saver and it goes in the deep freeze. There is a butcher shop near my home but the meat at Costco is better and at a better price. They also have whole briskets, or flats. They also have trimmed and whole pork belly.

I've found this recipe to be pretty damn good and it definitely doesn't ruin a steak. I'm normally a fan of simple seasoning on a steak but I've never had anyone complain when I've done this. In fact, I've never cooked them like this and gone without a lot of compliments.
