Any Butchers out there?

I know odd question here on the board.

But I am looking for a butcher or someone who really knows about cuts of meats to ask a question.

I went to a little family butcher years ago and asked for like 20 Tbones and the butcher said you would want order XYZ and then we can cut it into steaks and it will be a lot less money doing it that way....anyone have an Idea what it was....also is there a similar thing with Ribeyes?

Going to be doing a large BBQ this weekend and want to save myself some money if I can.

Very close & convenient to you.

The T-bone is part of the short loin cut. Porter house steaks also come from this cut. T-Bones from the front part and Porter House from the rear part. Rib-eyes are cut from the rib roast or prime rib on better quality beef. It can be cheaper to buy a rib roast and have it cut to you desired thickness. I like 3/4 inch on rib-eyes.

Nyr,

Not long ago there was a thread about steaks and steak houses and in this reply:

I posted a direct link to a butcher's illustrated guide to what cuts of meat are found where.

I like this chart that in the upper right shows just where a Porterhouse compared to a T-bone is cut.

Another good thread about cooking steaks:

Here's an excellent post by Dannie about dry aging steaks before you cook them.

To follow up on what TXHUNTER66 posted, here is a nice article on that very subject:

You can stick your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?

He was likely advising you to purchase a whole standing (bone in) rib roast which could be cut into individual steaks - you would end up with bone-in rib eye steak cuts .................it would save you some money; depending on where you bought the rib roast and if you bought prime or choice.

Rudolph's market (Elm Street) is excellent but very very expensive; their quality is the best in Dallas. They purchase whole on the hoof beef (directly from a rancher in Mississippi) and butcher/cure/age on-site............if you are cost conscience; head to CostCo...they have an excellent on premise butchery and could accommodate you if it was a large order.

Another good butcher is Hirsch's Meat Market in Plano; but again, these speciality butchers will be pricey compared to grocery store or Costco shopping.

Bon appetite !

Of course. Chris Farley was genius.

Plenty of butchers right here. We write reviews all the time and hack 'em up.

Do you ever have anything nice to say ?

Recently I have been trying to perfect Tri Tip. I'm having a lot of fun. I brined and grilled an amazing pork tenderloin last night.
