I Butchering is a lost art. I've damn near giving up on buying beef here, tasteless crap. And then there's the fact that I'm too cheap to pay 20 a lb at a real butcher shop. Sal, where do strip steaks come from?

I thought tenderloins were the best cuts, are they not? In my opinion, filet mignon is over rated. Some people love them though.. Agree! Growing up in a packing company, cutting meat and working on the kill floor, gave me a different perspective on that too. If filet mignon is so good, then why wrap it in bacon? My personal favorite steak is a USDA Prime porterhouse. Yum!!

Sal, how long does it take you to quarter and bone a deer in the field? Assuming conditions and landscape benefit you packing meat instead of bones.😎 Mmmm... I've never really timed it. If I pushed it I could do it pretty quickly depending on topography. Elk are a full day project. I always have a clean tarp in my pack to lay primal on and it seems like it is always a full day to take one apart and pack it back to camp. But but this is the campfire. There are several on here in the past that claim they can shoot,clean and process a deer or elk and have it in the freezer in mere hours.

I've been a retail butcher for 41 years. I retired from full time work a couple years ago but still cut meat a couple days a week when I'm not coyboying. I took some photos of recent that are pretty tasty. Though I'd share with those with a taste for animal flesh... Snake River Beef Company's American Wagyu. The best steaks we sell... Cowboy style Tomahawk Steaks USDA Choice Rib Eye.... Top Round Lindon Broils. USDA Choice Angus. Not my favorite, but there are ways to make it edible... USDA Choice Bone In New York Steaks.. USDAChoice Bone in Rib Eyes... USDA Choice Tri Tips... Nothing real exciting, just how I've made a living for a long time... Tri-Tip still some of the tastiest. Hard to find here in TX. Costco used to have it until a couple of years ago...

Samonella, what is your favorite method for cooking a ribeye steak?
Thanks.

I'll take my meat wild by preference, but hard to get in most resturants.....and then it's not as good as the stuff I've killed and processed myself. That grass-fed ribeye I had down Mexico way last March wasn't half bad, gotta admit....

Damn those pics make me hungry. If I could afford it, I'd have a ribeye every day of my life. Pork chop for breakfast, ribeye for supper. Nothing else except some potatoes and eggs.
I've an appreciation for good meat cutters, it's an art that is cool and as old as we are. Would be neat to take some lessons, but I think they'd be wasted on me.

I'd love to be more proficient at butchering/cutting. It's for sure a badazz skill to have.
A really great sirloin is hard to beat. The flank, hangar, skirt, steaks are great too. Love tri tip. The leaner cuts seem to have more flavor. A lot of feed lot ribeye anymore just tastes greasy to me.
I'mm with RBB on THE best cut. Gimme a +P size porterhouse!

I learn something from my butcher friend every time he comes over. Also from my dad who used to cut meat with his father. You should give it a try.

I like a ham steak with eggs and toast for breakfast. Lunch a burger. Ribeye or tenderloin with potatoes for supper.

I'll take every single one of them London Broils.
And whatever else is left over from what y'all don't want.
Met a nice guy up in WA that sells Wagyu bulls and raises beeves. Interesting program they have, they selectively breed based on following progeny to the slaughterhouse and getting carcass data for their bulls' offspring.

I dont quite understand the idea of the tomahawk steak. Just wow factor?
Those strips look nice. My favorite steak by a ways.
Tomahawks are steaksicles. +1 on strips. Ribeyes are over rated, but get good press.
