Just a average steak

We buy the choice strip steaks all the time and I have to says choice is WAY better. The prime is $3.00 more per pound but we thought we would splurge for July 4th. They were awful! We cooked all four steaks medium rare and they were difficult to cut. We all sat at the table chewing, chewing, chewing. I wondered how long I would have to chew before I felt comfortable trying to swallow.

Sam's Club really upped their beef. I always thought they lacked quality beef until recently. I read they just launched prime quality beef selections at the beginning of 2019. I will say from experience these steaks were some of the best steaks I ever ate. Now my wife and I are addicted to prime steaks and at these prices I pick up a few every weekend.

I bought a package of Prime strip steaks and a package of Choice strip steaks from Sam's. Neither was tender and the prime was less tender than the choice. I then purchased a couple of Choice strip steaks at my local discount grocery store for less than Sam's choice per pound price and they were tender as a babies butt.

These NY strip steaks are great. As with any fresh meat, do NOT use the order-online-and-pickup option. You want to SEE what meat cuts you're picking up! With that said, these are great prime strip steaks. They are nicely marbled (again, buy in person!), portioned sufficiently and just tastes great. You'll need to cook them them correctly though, to bring out their full potential. And as always, I always reverse sear. Start at 225° until internal temperature hits 115°, then crank up your grill to 600° and sear each side on a cast iron griddle for 90 seconds. Serve with homemade steak sauce, grilled asparagus and homemade mash potatoes. Add a nice cab on the side, like Educated Guess (also sold at Sam's) and you'll have a steak dinner that rivals your local prime steakhouse! Don't forget to extra-sear that outer strip of fat for a massive flavor bomb!

These were the best New York steaks we have ever eaten. They were tender and juicy with a rich, beefy flavor. This time we purchased Sam's Angus USDA Choice steaks. I can only imagine how wonderful the Prime grade must be. We thought our favorite steaks were ribeyes, and we usually purchase Sam's Prime ribeyes. Now it is hard to say which cut is better: they are both extraordinarily delicious (better than the late lady's steakhouse chain that touts its Prime beef).

The best steaks are not at the restaurant.

Excellents of prime meat.

Now and forever meat with bone is my best choice.

Tender. Juicy will buy again
