Save $80 Every Time You Go To The Grocery Store Buying Ribeye Steaks

We opened up a NEW Facebook Group. We talk about more ways to cut meat and save money. Come check it out here: www.facebook.com/groups/764558369079812/?ref=share…

Pro Tip: Take your entire rib before slicing and place it in your freezer for about 30 minutes. You are not freezing it, you are firming it with temp (or lack of). You will find that your cuts are much cleaner and consistent.

Stumbled on middle class yt

Just finished cutting up a 16 lbs ribeye from Costco. Cut thinner yielded 15 nice steaks plus a 1/2" morsel I just devoured off of the cast iron pan. All vacuum packed and in the freezer now. I was spending $14-$18 per pound for ribeye from the local butcher. I'm happy with the results at this chunk from Costco @ $10.60 per lbs. Now to cut up and grind the brisket I also got from Costco. Thanks for your content. I am enjoying your videos.

Hey, around the 5:00 mark, your laundry is done We must have the same washer/dryer, because I faintly heard that jingle and got up to go check the load I had going thinking it was done 😂😂

I used to think my parents were crazy as a kid when they’d buy an entire cow for $300 (early 90s), butcher it and we’d have beef for an entire year. With market prices… might not be a bad idea.

It's time for you to learn how to sharpen a knife and save $45 every time you dull a knife.

I knew the butcher wizard in high school. Great guy! Love this channel!

I learned this in Home Economics in 1959-1961. It has saved me a ton of money. Thank you for sharing.

you can also put the whole thing in the freezer for an hour so its a bit easier to cut. Much easier to get clean cuts when the meat is a bit firmer.

I tried your ribeye roll at Costco, it was over $400.00. I was ok after getting CPR from my daughter ha ha. What I did find that worked for me is rib roasts at my grocery store at $6.99 a pound. I learner how to cut off the bones and maybe it was your channel. I could get 3 or 4 ribeye steaks about 1 1/4 inch thick out of each one. Probably a Christmas deal. Over a period of time I got several of them at about $38.00 a piece. Little easier to swallow than $400.00. Now my freezer is full and that is great as I am doing the Carnivore diet. Hope to hit the market at lest one more time till the end of the year. Hope you had a great Christmas .

Dude, you are awesome. I enjoy your friendly, easy-going demeanor. You definitely made the task look and feel really simple. Thanks for the help.

Back when my wife and I first got married, for Christmas, my parents bought us a whole NY strip. Especially as two early 20-somethings who could rarely afford to buy steaks, that was the absolute best Christmas gift. Sliced it up into 8-10 steaks, bagged and froze them until desired time to eat. If you can swing the upfront cost and the freezer space, it's a game changer to buy whole slabs of meat like this. 👍

My dad was a butcher. I remember the hand placement for measuring thickness. It’s amazing the things I retained from watching him work.

I went to Sam’s and the whole ribeye was about $12/lb. Pre cut ribeye was a little over $13/lb. I still went ahead and bought the whole ribeye and broke it down like you showed and it came out nice. But I ended up trimming off about 2lbs of fat from the whole thing. So all-in I don’t think I saved any money doing this. My ribeye was 13lbs so I saved about $13 by buying whole, but 2 pounds of it was fat, which made up $24ish of the total cost. So the $13 I saved by buying whole ended up being $-11 because I paid for fat that wouldn’t have been there in the pre cut.

I used to work in a Costco meat department. While I was mainly a wrapper, the cuts and trimmings sound very in line with what we did in the shop. It's almost like you worked at Costco. ;) I believe the cutters relied on the bandsaw to cut the steaks though.

I did this all the time at my restaurant. The big Costco rib roast was usually even cheaper and better quality than my restaurant supplier and either I or my kitchen manager would slice up our own steaks. Ribeye is my favorite: I don't trim any fat because that's where the flavor is :)

When squaring up the ends, firm it up a bit in the freezer to make it easier to slice, then slice the ends super thin for Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. 10 steaks, a roast and two cheesesteak sandwiches. That’s a lot of meals at a great price! Nice job!

All my life have preferred rib eye and prime rib ! No sirloin, no fillette miñon no bull at all ! So tender so juicy 😋 real good !

My Dad had to feed four kids. He always purchased half a cow each year. He would always purchase semi cuts and break it down himself! Keep up the good work.
