OT - Kirkland meat?

EggNorth said:Sounds like a much better meat selection in the US vs Canada. Only St Louis style ribs here are with some kind of marinating sauce which does not taste very good. Never seen pork shoulder or brisket.
Steaks are great thought, so all is not lost.

Sea2Ski said:TN_Sister_State said:They have one of the best organic selections with their kirkland brand, which makes my wife happy. We have had their ground beef, chicken breast, chicken thighs, drumsticks, wings, beef ribs, pork ribs, butts, pork loins, and brisket. We are all in due to price for smoking/grilling meats. The question remains, who will be the first to order this for their egg???

Hopefully it is not going to be ordered for several more years, and honestly I do not want to cook it.
Personally, I do not think it is worth it, but if that is what he wants to do, who am I to say a word and suggest otherwise.L BGE, XL appetite

I've been to both of those stores. I find the prices no better than my local independent grocery store. And higher than the local butcher I go to. -
The costco whole prime ribeye at 9.99 pound is a great deal. Very large, if you slice about 1 1/2 in thick they will weigh like 1 and 1/2 pd per steak. Foodsaver those one at a time. If you are tight on space. split one with your neighbor or fellow griller. And, cryovac wrapped and not blade tenderized apparently.
PS--questions on meat are never "OT" -

I have had nothing but good experiences with the meat from our Costco store here in Syracuse. They do carry a good selection of prime cuts. However, they do not carry the prime brisket.

I never paid much attention to the fine print but I did today. Some show blade tenderized, some don't. See above.

The Prime cryo Ribeye is definatly a winner. I got a 4lb. ribeye cap steak and nine two inch wide steaks ranging from 17 - 22 oz. And one ,1 inch12oz steak for breakfast tomorrow :-) After adding in the three pounds of cut off fat and silverskin , I still only paid $13.72 per pound for prime ribeye steaks and Prime Cap Steak . packaged cap steaks are around $18.99 a pound.More meat please !! :-)

@NonaScott I'm just buying the whole cryovac now, big savings per lb. but I agree, it doesn't make much sense.
@SmokinTiger81 those look great, I like cutting my own too

I buy pretty much all my meat from Costco. Everyone seems to have covered all the red meats, but I also love their bacon, salmon, chicken breasts, hot Italian sausage.XL BGE & 36" Blackstone

@BrookieP I agree, you pay a little more for chicken parts but the packaging is super convenient. I wish my location had 80/20 ground beef though, they only have 88/12.
No prime brisket either, only choice flats. Would like to see beef ribs also offered.
The paper products, garbage bags etc are all we use now too. I can't get out of that place without dropping a couple hundred bucks though.Jacksonville FL -

Got one of the best prime tri tip there. The marbeling was outta this world and when we ate it tasted like butter. Better than my butcher.

I love their pork loins - around the $20 mark. Cut into 1/4ths and can experiment with rubs and stuff.
I also get their bone-in pork shoulders. Won me a second place in a BBQ contest at work a few years back! And my 9 yo nephew - the pickiest eater on the planet - LOVES my pulled pork!

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
I am uneducated about the whole "blade tenderized" thing. What's the deal?War Damn Eagle!

My only complaint is too many cuts are boneless, such as the pork shoulder, prime rib and chuck roasts. The pork loin chops that are boneless are a pass for me.
I don't think I've ever seen tenderized steaks. IMO their Kirkland frozen meatballs are horrible ( my husband wanted to try them, because sometimes I don't feel like making meatballs).Egging on two larges + 36" Blackstone griddle -

wow - reading nothing but positive reviews here. I am costco member but cant even think of last time I purchased meat here. My wife is super selective . . and thinks costco meat = mega farm crap quality. She likes our local butcher who uses local farms, grass fed beef, etc. I gotta get persuasive (or sneak it in) because I know this forum appreciates quality meat !Columbus, OH
