What Are Beef Prices Like in Your Area?

I only buy grassfed organic meat. Eliminating chemicals from my food is more important than price..

My local Grocery Outlet had vacuum packed 10 oz NY strip steaks for $4.99. Perfect size for a single serving. I got two, if they're any good I'll get more.

If they are good I would be stocking up on those.

Frog legs in the USA are usually large and deep fried and have little taste. Much like fried chicken.

Frog served in Hong Kong are fresh small frogs...and taste exactly like one would expect a frog to taste like. Much like the frog smell. A bit on the fishy side. Nothing like chicken.

I don't care for them fried. I usually just saute them with garlic and butter. As for the taste, it has its own flavor. If I were blindfolded and you gave me a piece I could probably tell you what is was.

Hmmm. Ok. So what do they taste like?? Chicken?????

No, actually they have a unique flavor all their own. Not chicken, nor fish, but I could tell the taste if I were blindfolded.

Chef Duane, and that’s the cheap stuff!

Big processors control almost all the beef sold in the US. Ranchers are getting shafted. It is true that herds were downsized a few years back, and it takes a long time to increase the herd size at just one calf per year! That’s the reason pork is so much less. It is easy to make lots of little piggies.

Cattle herds are at their lowest in 75 years today.

It is wild how much these prices fluctuate depending on where you are located. Seems like everyone is noticing that the costs are climbing everywhere.

The DW does the grocery shopping so I have no idea what beef costs. That said, we eat so little it really doesn't matter. My wife grew up in a family that was vegetarian and over the years I have eaten less and less beef. In addition, I prefer salads to steak, most of the time.

Yep. Beef is not a necessity. If one likes meat, chicken is cheaper and better for our health. But it is not necessary to eat meat at all.

IMAO, there is no legit reason to be overly concerned with the price of beef.

Do you ever have big dinners for family? A pot roast is one of the easiest ways to cook for a group of 12-15, our normal dinner size. I season the roast with savory or with rosemary and thyme, brown it, then cook in a nice beef broth for hours. Ad roasted carrots and potatoes, and it is easy and tasty. Chicken in quantity isn’t nearly as easy. Also, when we have a celebration, the person being celebrated gets to choose the main dish. Two men in my family prefer sirloin roasts to chicken.

Agree, that much poultry is called a turkey, which is usually reserved for a certain holiday every year.
Steaks, burgers, sirloin tips and more are top requests at my family bbq, as well as spring rolls, but that’s off topic and a whole other conversation…
