All I know is, it is cheaper to dine at a "family" restaurant when ordering certain things like an 8oz steak with mashed and greens, than it is to buy a raw 8oz steak at some supermarkets right now. Things like this is driving me crazy with WTF.
Find a local farmer that raises cattle. The only downside is you have to invest in a large freezer and buy a lot of meat. We bought 1/4 cow in May. Our cow hanging weight was 740 pounds. Total per pound was $4.60 and that's based off of hanging weight. Prices may vary depending on region. I expect to pay more the next time because prices for everything has gone up. You might have to get on a waiting list and you can get whole cow to 1/4. Check with your local farmers market to see if local meat is sold or farmers in your area. Also a local butcher shop may have information. Next I'd like to get pork the same farmer has pigs. I'd love to find a chicken farm that sells to the public. The best thing about this the meat is 1000xs better than what's in grocery or restaurants. I won't eat beef in restaurants after eating this. If you can afford the bulk price at once it's worth it. Plus it's shrink wrapped so should last longer than regular ziplocks. I'm eating two year old shrink wrapped deer meat that looks just as fresh as day one. My husband and daughter hunt so we have plenty meat around here.
Heh, my dad bought two cows when we were kids, he was always buying random things, he hired a local guy to come out and butcher them after they grew and were ready, he then had to buy one of those deep freezers. We only kept a quarter of the meat, gave some to the guy as payment for coming out to do it and then we packaged up a lot of it and delivered it to some families who were in need (gave one family some of the egg laying chickens as well that year.) Was the best steak I ever had, and other cuts.. but for me, all about the steak lol.
Sounds like a great experience and being able to help others is wonderful. I'm all about helping someone I know instead but f giving blindly to a huge charity. For sure the best steak and burger I've ever had. When eating steak I'm about like a man I don't want to get full on the sides, give me just steak. We got an assortment of steaks, burger and roast. I've never liked sirloin or NY strip until I ate from this cow. I'm looking forward to cooking the chuck roast in the cast iron pan. My grandma's roast was simple and the best I ever had. This farmer has it processed at a local butcher and we get from them.
Oh yeah, steak does not need to be covered in anything, just good meat and cooked to just right with a lil salt and pepper for me and please, leave some fat on it.
