Buying Beef Plate Ribs

Slippy

Doing my first plate ribs this weekend. How early can I go to the butcher to get the meat? I want it fresh, but I also want to make sure they are not sold out on Friday... I don't want to have to drive all over town, in a panic, the day before the cook.

Order ahead of time and pick up the day before you'll cook them

Go to either Costco out here in Rockwall and get them or check out Davids Meat Market over in Garland. With the ones at Costco they are Prime and are Vac Sealed so you could get them days in advance. The ones at Davids you would need to go the day before.

I was planning to go to David's... I will call them today and "reserve" one. I've had good luck over there... Have you seen some meaty plate ribs at Costco?

I actually like the ones at Costco better than Davids because the Costco are Prime. See above link. Once they shrank the meat was about 2.5"-3" thick they were superb. These bones were about 7"-8" plate ribs.

Also if you are wanting the super huge ones you could try Deep Cuts over in Richardson. They have individual Beef Ribs that are like 10" Bones.

That's it right there... I would love to get some Prime... I may swing by today to check it out. Time to re-up my Costco membership... Do they come two racks per package, or single? Thanks!!!

They come 4 Ribs per rack and there are usually 2 racks sealed together. I was there over the weekend and a Package (8ribs total) was around $35 bucks. I would say it was maybe 8 pounds or so? I definetly advise getting a Costco Membership if just to use it for buying Prime Briskets and these plate ribs alone.

Struck out at Costco... Gonna try Davids. I asked Coopers in Dallas last time I was in there and they said they normally carry them. It's by my office, so I may swing by tomorrow...

Did you look next to the Briskets? They had 8 packs on Saturday. I've never had any trouble going in and getting Plate ribs there. Must be a busy week.

I did. They had quite the selection of prime brisket, great prices. I talked to the butcher and he said they only have the beef ribs for certain promotional weeks. Next one is Sept 21...

Weird. Then again, I don't go into Costco every week like a lot of folks so maybe I just get lucky every time.

Ended up getting some pricey ribs from Coopers. Embarrassed to say how much... They cooked much faster than I prepared for. They are 5.7 lbs, so I figured 8.5 hours.., but only took 6. They are resting while the baby back finish... Looks good and my probe slid in like softened butter. Pulled at 201°
