Where's the beef? Grass fed vs. choice & prime

[Greasy]

There is a butcher here that sells grass fed meat. It was okay but not worth twice the price of Costco prime. As mentioned above it also wasn't graded. I wouldn't buy from that butcher again.

Having had grass finished beef for most of my first two decades in Arizona, I was really unhappy with the Farmer’s Market stuff. I looked back at my notes from these cooks and realized I mis-communicated one important item. I described the meat as very tough. Not quite an accurate description. Both the NY strips and the ribeyes were riddled with gristle throughout the steaks. No cooking technique was going to fix that. Well maybe a day in a crock pot covered in liquid.

Still think all beef should be graded, regardless of how it’s finished.

Best regards,
