Ribeyes--20 for $25

[Willy]

Yep, it's true. I drove by a parking lot yesterday and in it was a truck with a big sign advertising this "screaming deal". I chuckled and drove on. Now, it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, these would be a good base for burgers if mixed with some fat trimmings from briskets.

Probably not, but your thoughts/experiences?

Let's see, if they are 2 oz. steaks x 20 each that's 40 oz. or 2.5 lbs. Well that's $10/lb. Hmmm, sells all day long for less than that if you buy select !! All kidding aside, I'd have to see them, may be a lot of fat or real thin cuts. As you say though, might make good burger grind. Check it out and report back !!!

My thoughts are - what kind of meat is it - Hmmmmm...

[FireMan]

Maybe it’s teddy bear meat. Wonder what it tastes like.

Use caution and feed the first one to an out of favor family member.

So, I stopped by to check 'em out. They're 1/4 pound each and 1/4"-ish thick. I'll pass, even for burger. At $5 per pound for burger, it's not worth it and, imho, a 1/4-inch steak is a sin.

I guess the choices are trash fed or lab raised🐭. I think a red 🍷 wine

Years ago, when I was young and stupid (as opposed to old and stupid like now), I fell for one of these truck deals. The steaks were terrible. We ended up throwing most of them away.

Once or twice over the years I've been home on a Saturday when some guy in a pickup with a big cooler in the back would drive through the neighborhood trying to sell meat out of the back of his pickup. I recently saw a guy like that on the side of the road with a deep freeze in the back of a pickup. I've always passed. I'll bet its stuff that got outdated or past the sell by date somewhere else, or its the cut below USDA SELECT, which normally would not go to a consumer.

I believe that they Process from old roping stears that rodeoed three nights.

Potkettleblack I have a great idea. We can use those thin steaks as the bread for the sandwich. Slap some mustard, mortadella, salami and a peppers on there with some leattuce for crunch!!
