Is anyone a whizbang genious on meat grading ??
Some confusion about grading of meats ...
In a store, you'll see mostly Choice and Select grades
Choice has a higher fat content than Select... So dont get fooled into thinkin a Select cut of meat is better( more marblin) than a Choice cut
If you see a sale on meats.. let say 2.99 a pound for top sirlion , select,
be wary about buying it ... it's gunna be a somewhat tough piece of meat.. unless you doctor it when you get home.. like air dry , or vinegar bath
If you get the same cut of meat, Choice, it will be a better cut of meat
If you see prime meat you're probably getting Prime3 ... Prime 1 is almost exclusively sold to restuarants ... The prime is good, but it's not the same as the meats in The Palm... Smith and Wollensky.. Ben Bensons... and the like
