Like for BBQ or just want a good cut were do you get it?

Online?
Costco?

Safeway

Etc?


I do not think Costco is that great, but it is the cheapest route for me if we are doing a big dinner.

Diamond S or Dick Howard's; two local butchers...

Go to a specialty butcher shop, some will cut up your elk or deer too.

You can get bad stuff everywhere. Localy is the best, check out the stuff, but it is very difficult for a non proffersional to "see" whats good or bad just by looking at it.

Its not possible to pinch it and feel it at the store either. My best advice for you, is to find a couple of diffrent types and then try em out. See the difference and you will soon learn how to "see".

And, well, should you bee unlucky to get a piece of hard and dry peice. Dont cry, put it in the oven at about 70 degrees celcius for 12 hours, the result would be a totaly black "coal" peice, the juice it left would look like tar. Dont waste it, it makes the best sauce ever (just add some cream and milk)!!  Place the peice of "coal" in salted water for about 4 hours.........the result is a steak that will "melt" in your mouth.

I use this method of cooking, mainly on "useless" hard peices from any animal, specialy good for deermeat.


EDIT: Generaly supermarkets carry low quality beef

I always go to a local butcher.  I'm also good friends with a cook at an upper-scale restaurant here so if I'm lucky, he can pick up a few extra pieces of meat for me.

GTO, if you want to drive then hit Angelo's Meats on Petaluma Hill Road outside Petaluma. He's an old Italian guy who makes sausages and his Louisiana Hot Links are the best I've ever had. He also has a great dry rubbed TriTip, really big ones that go great on a BBQ.

Then drive over to Lucerne and visit the Lucerne Market. The sign out front says "Best Meats in Northern California" and it's true- he gets restaurant quality beef and it's friggin tasty.

Take a girl with you and make a day trip out of it. Stop at a winery or three, hit the Indian Casino at Cache Creek for the buffet and you've had a pretty full day.

I'm lucky. Muenster, Texas is a german community near me and they have 2 great butcher shops, H&W and Fleisher's. I won't take a deer or heifer anywhere else.

Airhead's travel tips are usually pretty good.


Unless there happens to be a double murder next to where he sends you.
