    Blade tenderized chuck roast

    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??

    Yes, totally fine if you’re taking it that high. The problem is if you pick up some ribeyes and wanna cook them medium rare.

      Thank you. The rib eye scenario I can understand.

    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.

      Ok, that makes sense.

      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.

      And that graph is why I won't buy blade tenderized steaks unless I play to SV them. 35 minutes at 140 (solidly medium) to be safe. Uh...

      That is a good reason to read labels and SV. Our insta-pot has an SV function'
      I will be SV'ing soon to try it out. Looks easy enough on youtube.

    I don't understand why they do this also. Has made us look elsewhere when it comes to steaks.
