Busy weekend ahead....

At the front: USDA Select flank steak. Just under 11lbs, in 5 roughly equal pieces. Two pieces marinaded in soy sauce, red wine, and lots of garlic. Grilled over propane, served for dinner tonight.

Middle: pork cushion meat. 2 large chunks (out of the 5 roughly equal pieces) cut into bite sized pieces to make the very traditional pork tikka masala (narrator: this is not the traditional protein...)

Back: USDA Choice ribeye primal. Going to be broken down into chain (for Philly cheese steak), half a dozen *fat* steaks, and some beef roasts.

All bought at my local Restaurant Depot. Total cost inc tax around $300 because "opportunity buy" means 25% off the already low price for the first two.

The prime rib primal was $11.83/lb, so this whole lot cost me around what the primal alone would have cost in Costco. Going to be a very meaty weekend, with lots of meat now in the freezer

Post pics of the cooks. We need that for our own fuel. Thanks

action shot of the steaks grilling over propane - I had intended using charcoal, but central Alabama has been so soggy I couldn't work up the enthusiasm to get wet myself

I trimmed off the chain and used it for Philly cheese steak for lunch, cut 10 fat steaks (all around 14 to 20 oz apiece, 6 are now in the freezer) and a chunk for a roast beef dinner.

Ah, another fan of RD! First thing I do is always scout out for the table or rolling cart with the "opportunity buys". That's how I found my first (and only) hanger steak.

the "oh bugger" section is where I bought the first brisket I ever smoked - $1.49/lb for a packer, yes please!
