The "select" t-loins I've grilled you can still cut with a fork.


Tenderloins are naturally tender regardless of the grade. It's the flavor and moistness that the higher grade/more marbled meat has to offer. I don't buy tenderloins in the first place, regardless of the grade. Yeah they're tender, but what else do they have to offer?? They have pretty much no flavor due to their leaness, unless you wrap a piece of bacon around them. I'll pay 1/3 of the price and be happy with a sirloin any day over a tenderloin!

I agree.
So a brisket is a brisket and a tenderloin is a tenderloin. Sounds like much ado about nothing [smilie=a_hrm.gif] [smilie=rlp_smilie_242.gif]

Yep!!

You guys get any snow lately?

Everything you wanted to know about meat grades:

I notice a tremendous difference between the steaks from Supermarkets such as Publix, ungraded, and my butcher, graded choice. I read somewhere that only about 5% of beef is graded Prime?

When it comes to brisket it's not the grade of the brisket but the side of the cow it came from thats important.....

Not necessarily. I have found many a choice brisket in the Wally World meat case. They tend to peddle whut they are sent..and if they are sent choice that is whut they peddle. To them as with most other retailers..briskets is briskets.

fwiw... if you have been cooking wally world briskets you have been cooking select.

I don't know about briskets but I'll give you an affidavit about the superiority of a prime tenderloin fillet over a choice. In my opinion getting a prime fillet is well worth the extra $$. Just my $2.00. Two cents just didn't sound right in this instance.
