Standing Rib Roast $4.47lb!

[sawhorseray]

The ads just came out, I'll score a whole "choice" one in the bag at Fry's Market. Safeway has "select" on sale for $3.97lb, I'm passing on that. RAY

I am going shopping today at Fry's and will check them out.

Thanks Ray!

 

[sawhorseray]

It's the best price I've seen in 10-15 years John, maybe I'll see you there! RAY

 

[SmokinAl]

Good price!
We are at $6.99 & I don't think it will come down from there!

I've seen two stores at $6.99lb but going to check one more. Hoping for $4.99lb and they will sell me a huge hunk!

 

[smokerjim]

good price 4.99-5.99 so far around here

 

[sawhorseray]

It's all better than the disparity I see over tritip, I still just don't understand that at all. I'll score two today and do a little butchering and vac-sealing in the kitchen. A couple of boneless roast, beef rack, and steaks for the year. RAY

 

[SecondHandSmoker]

That is a great price.

Same here Al. I’ve got a few select grade @ $4.99 but the cheapest choice near me is Kroger @ $6.99 limit 1.

Here in Cali the Winco stores have tri tip for $2.98 lb. At that price I smoke a few and grind the rest. Wish I had a Fry's near me.

I scored two, 36lbs! There will be enough to try Bear's ribs, that'll be a initial type of cut for me. I figure to grind what's left from that cut into a Christmas Day meatloaf for my toothless 94 year-old father-in-law. Boneless ribeye steaks, roasts, Bear's ribs, and a rack, time to tune some blades! RAY

Nice score Ray!

My wife nixed the roast

So I bought a pack of 2 steaks instead.

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Damn Ray those are a couple nice looking roasts! I think I am going to order one today and go pick it up tomorrow. Need to figure out a good way to take the bones out!

 

[sawhorseray]

This turned out great! You never really know what you're getting until the knife work begins, the horror of a big glob of fat running thru the entire eye has happened to me before, tho not today, these twins were gorgeous.

I tried the surgical glove over the Kevlar glove like I read here the other day, that's something I'll do every time from here on out. I tried to find the post so I could give kudos to the author and just didn't find it anywhere.

Kudos to Bear! I got a couple of three ribbers from his dino rib thread, and a couple of small boneless roasts with what was left, and a nice 5 pounder to boot!

Beef "Dino" Ribs (From My Last Prime Rib Score)

Beef "Dino" Ribs (From My Last Prime Rib Score) These are from the last batch of Christmas sale Choice Prime Ribs I got. I had them leave at least an inch of extra meat on the bones when they were removed, so I could have some Awesome Ribs. I vacuum packed them as soon as I got them home, and...

www.smokingmeatforums.com

Ten 1&1/2" boneless ribeye steaks seasoned and vac-sealed for sous vide

A couple of little racks to play with and enough trimmed off to square things up that I'll grind into a meatloaf. My freezer is a thing of beauty!

Merry Christmas to all SMF'ers, the best forum on the planet! RAY

Nice score Ray! My wife nixed the roast So I bought a pack of 2 steaks instead.

John John John, you go to the market without telling your wife and score. When you get home you tell her about all the great savings, and something like, "I thought you'd like some prime rib honey". RAY

 

[Bearcarver]

Wow!!
Sure is a lot of good looking flesh shots on this page.
I got a nice 10.5 pound "choice" last week @ $4.76 from Giant.
I trimmed the Ribs off & split the rest into 2 of my usual size Prime Rib Smokes. They went into the end of the line & hope to see them in about a Year.

You all got me beat but wasnt trying to save a lot just trying for a good looking piece of meat, will try to post a after cooking/sliced picture, a filet knife is the easiest way to debone and leave the least amount of meat on the bones, bones become a different meal if I debone the roast. this 1 will be cooked bone in. Merry Christmas to all.

Same here Al. I’ve got a few select grade @ $4.99 but the cheapest choice near me is Kroger @ $6.99 limit 1.

Thought I'd mention:
I always get Choice, but one time I got Select, and I honestly didn't notice a difference from all of my Choice Roasts. I still get Choice, but I wouldn't hesitate on Select if need be.

It's real easy with any sharp knife, if you stay between 1/2" to 1" away from the bones. Then you'll have some nice extra meat on the bones for a "Dino Smoke" on another day. I like to save a few from my Prime Ribs, and Smoke them all at once.
