Cooking the perfect steak

[bcoop]

No not Mexican. No I don't have a smoker, although I would like to get one, just dont have a place to put one. The mrs dash gets sraped off before it eat it, just use it for flavors. Kinda funny that everyone that has eaten a steak I cooked, has like it, and called me later to cook it again.. To each his own, I like to have flavor not just chewing on a piece of meat.

The topic at hand is prime cuts. Prime cuts don't need that shit, as they have more than enough flavor of their own. All the other stuff is masking the natural flavor, and/or making up for an incompetent cook.

Where can someone get prime cuts? The local grocery store? Or do you have to go to a meat market? I think I have only had choice.

You've likely only had choice or less. I get mine from the commercial sector usually. OP posted up that now HEB is carrying prime cuts. There is a joint in Garland called David's Meat Market, it's actually owned by a board member's uncle (Jester). You can order things from most meat counters at the grocery store though. A while back, I ordered a 65 lb steamship round (whole leg, from ass too just above the knee cap) at Tom Thumb. So ordering a few prime filets or something should be no big deal.

HEB has them occasionally. Also you can order them online.

OK, I will see if my local Brookshires can do it before I go out to Garland.

The guys driving around going door to door probably aren't an excellent source. JK

I have actually never bought from those guys before. Usually don't even open the door.

sprouts will ocassionally buy a large amount of prime and have it priced very well.

I only briefly read the above posts. I typically only get meats from the average grocery store. Me and the wife moved to tx about 8 months ago and thus far have not found a good meatmarket.. All the ones around us, the meat taste the same as the grocery store just at a higher price.. I diddent take any cooking classes but I have only messed up grilling meat a hand full of times..

The only bad part about it, is it's Yankee beef. That said, it's where I go when I don't get it from a commercial source, only because I don't know of any other real butchers (i.e. not a grocery store) locally.

Cool. I will take a look at the website.

I usually get my steaks at Kroger LOL... I'll have to try a real meat market soon when i feel like spending money.

Ya'll go to the custom cut orders page. You can buy an entire side of beef, or whatever. He's got tons of packages on there, of all variety/price.

Yea, I was looking at that. I have ordered packages like that from a place in Killeen while I was down there. Never done it anywhere locally.

I don't, but David's is worth the drive. I live in Las Colinas, and make the drive. I just try to stock up, because it is a haul for me.

I good meat market, probably means a crappy web site. Just basically a web presence to get out their address and phone number.
