That is true, i had a BBQ smoker before and know some basic stuff but his videos let me spend more time on preparation, dry-aging and it improved my steak cooking. I also bought a Sous-Vide because i bought some Japanese Wagyu once and wanted to get it perfectly done. Little story for the Wagyu, i ordered 2kg of Rib-Eye and got 2kg ( so 4kg total ) for free as they made an error and send me way too much and in Germany they need to throw it when i send it back, so they let me keep it.

A few secrets on the BJ's steak, 1. the reason it's cheaper is because it's beef from Canada, hence why there is no USDA Choice sticker on the package. 2. BJ's packages all their fresh cut meat based on prices, meaning that they have a range on what is acceptable to put into a package so you might find 3 smaller steaks or 2 larger steaks in a package. 3. Their 100% money back promise is no joke, they literally take back anything no matter how much was left or whatever the customer did to the piece of meat.

It's taco bell or KFC. My Walmart has prime steaks. I know not every Walmart does, but mine does. Can't tell you why mine does though. I also have an HEB with prime steaks as well as a Costco, Whole Foods, and Fiesta Foods. There are also a few meat markets too. Out of all of them, Costco has the best steaks I have access to. Also, Costco is only slightly more expensive than Walmart. My only issue with Costco is the fact that it is a massive pain in the butt going there. The place is always packed. I end up spending 10+ minutes circling the parking lot with dozens of other cars looking for a spot. Then I have to walk a mile to back of the store after to get the steak to wait forever in a line to walk another mile back to my car. Sometimes I feel it is worth it, but usually not. I end up usually grabbing HEB which is about on the level as whole foods, just cheaper.

Walmart and a lot of other stores like them cut their steaks thin because they don't keep track of sales by weight or overall profit, they keep track of it by units sold. So the thinner you cut your steaks, the more packages or units of meat you can make with one ribeye roast. The More units sold, the larger the managers bonuses and department budgets. That's why it's so common to see sad thin sliced steaks at big name grocery stores. It's also the reason why deli meats and similar items are rarely ever sold in quantities of over a half a pound.

Prime and Choice are terms that are used by the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture, I’m not sure what Sweden has but they most likely have their own different method of categorizing steaks since all the ones used by Guga from grocery stores are all going to be from the US, hence USDA
@Kampos942 жыл бұрын
We dont have any grading system in sweden for meat. There are stores that make their own gradings however. Like "Ica" (Swedish grocery store) has "Ica Select"which is steaks with better marbeling. Altho most of the time even those are not in the "Prime" range. Also all steaks in swedish grocery stores are thin. The ones we call thick here is what guga said was thin in this video. If you want to get ahold of good meats go to a local butcher or to a "Saluhall" and have someone cut the steak in front of you after you selected out what you want. Another good place to find good marbeled meat is "LIDL" belive it or not. They usually have very nice beef there.

All three stores get their meat from Swift or national and one other when I can't remember that set the difference from store to store is actually how they cut the meat after it gets out of the package Whole Foods avoid the bandsaw except to cut through the bone everything else is hand-cut hand-trimmed just like Publix Walmart uses a band saw to cut their steaks you'd be surprised but just by taking care with the way that you process the meat once you take it out of the package makes that big of a difference also how they store the food contribute greatly

If you guys are ever in Vegas, there's a restaurant called Joe's Seafood Prime Steak and Stone Crab at Cesar's. I prided myself on making steaks better than any restaurant so I never ordered it. But my wife and I got some gift cards so I decided to try their steak. Boy was it an eye opener. I had the best rib eye I have ever had. It was so taste, juicy and perfectly cooked. It made me question my steak cooking abilities!

Make about 20-30 pieces, 7-8 of each and have you attach which category each bite is from. I personally can''t tell a huge difference between them all...just curious how accurate you would be Guga. Of course the bites would be random and unknown to you.

Usually I get 6 1.5 inch thick steaks out of it for $45-50, and it's also well trimmed. Just had some for dinner tonight using your technique of pan searing it and then baking in the oven until up to 135, was FRICKING PHENOMENAL. Best steak I've had in a long time. Thanks for the enlightenment on how to properly cook a steak Guga, this is life changing.👍👍❤❤🍻🍻Cheers to you from Toronto
