I’ve been reading comments about Costco using "blade tenderized" steaks, roasts, etc. If I understand correctly the concern is for bacteria being spread deep into the meat? In the case of smoking a chuckie to IT of 200+, isn’t that temperature high enough to take care of that??

I think so, I think anything higher than 165 would even be approved by the USDA. It would essentially fall close to ground beef for risk in their book.

Jared49 I have bought blade tenderized steaks there a few times too, now I only buy if not tenderized or buy whole sub primals generally to avoid it, but Sous Vise can counter it at certain temps over time if you want their steaks less than well done. I won’t say my times/temps because I mighta winged it calling it safe enough for me.

Of course, 200*f internal does the trick, as 165'f kills all within seconds.
There is a very informative article on the free side of AR on this subject.
Hope this helps, helped me.
