Guys, today I butchered one of the ribeye primals that I got from Hines and I got 17 steaks out of it that are all 1-1/2" thick. 17!! Plus another pound of meat in trimmings, etc, that will be good for hamburgers, stew, etc. Steaks averaged 13 ounces each. This was after letting the primals age for 3 weeks. That comes out to about $1.77 per 13 ounce steak. Yes, you read that correctly, $1.77 for a 13 ounce ribeye.
I also cut up the loin primals and wound up with 16 steaks(12 ounce each) out of the first one, plus another pound of trimmings. On the 2nd loin primal I didn't cut any steaks out of it and I got a 6 pound center cut loin which I cut in half, a 4 pound loin that I also in half, and a 3 pound loin. Again, this was after letting the primals age for 3 weeks. Just for the loin steaks that is about $1.25 each.
I threw the ribeye's on the grill tonight and they were absolutely fucking RIDICULOUS! I hope I never have to buy another precut grocery store steak every again.
