While I have been a big fan, I’m finding that Costco prime sirloin to be occasionally chewy and even tough. I purchased 10 steaks in February and while some were excellent, others were not great. And I carefully select them for their marbling. I’m going to have to look for another source.

Here they aren’t doing this on all of them anymore, but I usually buy whole sub-primals and cut and vacuum pack myself for the extra savings. On subprimals I’ve never seen them do this. Last time I was there, two of the individual cuts I looked at were labeled blade tenderized and two were not.

Each cow is it’s own being. I’ve had good luck with Costco Prime beef, it’s a USDA grading, not Costco’s. However, like anything, you can’t know the life of the cow by the appearance on the marbling of the meat. Only way to get that predictable is to buy it from a specific farmer every time and you’ll still find the occasional dud. I go for the 75 or 80 percent rule. If that percentage is great, I keep shopping there as they are getting decent meat.
