Stanks Switch It Up In 2019

We have friends that raise Angus beef and split a stear with 2 other families. We tell them if we want a bit more fat or less then the previous year and they just adjust how much grain to give them and how long to leave them in the dark. Usually 6 week's in the dark and a streak cuts like butter. cut anyway wer want it. Yum
 
Best line my Grandmother ever said, over a steak dinner:

"This cuts like a baby."

:eek:
 
Yea people all want grass fed beef for some reason. Growing up the only people who ate grass fed beef were the poor people who couldn’t afford corn.

Good luck Penny!

I made a nice beef connection through weed. A dude my brother knows smoked some fine HB weed as was so intrigued he wanted to meet. We talked soil, animal health and how it's all related. He is into his cows like I'm into my weed. He's in negotiation with the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers to provide them beef. I guess they have specific needs for specific players. I didn't realize he can manipulate the fats based on feeding. Some have higher than normal Omega 3 fats and other custom requirement I don't quite understand. It was fascinating listening to him talk nutrition and cows. Needless to say we've made an arrangement...I provide him quality bud and he gives me prime beef cuts. I gotta say his steaks are the best I've ever had.

Oh yea, walk in and go to work. Sharpen em up soon. I remember delivering to the meat packing zone in Boston in the 70's. Those boys were daunting all bloody with their knives in hand. They'd cut me a bunch of tips and send me on my way. Good guys. It's not the same now, everything's in a box they say.

I actually did this also when I first got my CDL for poultry products, I actually miss delivering in Boston
 
3 pages of beef talk :laugh: Hmm it’s weird cause you have totally different cuts over there and different grading too... what we ate in Cali in restaurants with my friends was sometimes excellent though... most people over here always think how bad your meat quality is, Europeans are afraid of US food products in general, but it’s far from the truth.

In Italy you have mostly Italian beef, but Scotch Black Angus and Irish stuff makes headways: these are almost always slightly sweeter... filetto and controfiletto are a treat indeed :smokin2:

Food in the US these days is trash as far as I'm concerned.

Usually full of salt and sugar to satisfy the sophisticated American palette. :straightface:

It was a fun gig. Bad times though with busing in schools when I was at it. Not for me but driving through the ugliness was tough.
 
That's it! I'm off to Costco for a prime brisket if they offer one. All this beef talk. I don't eat much beef but I LOVE it. Happy Friday Everyone!
 
Thankfully, I'm right in the heart of cattle country. We still have real meat cutters. Not hard to find a rancher who is willing to halve and process a full cow for us (we split one with another family). It's a lot! We only do that every few years (the years I get skunked deer hunting)

Brisket sounds like a winner to me! Delish! :drool:

Last prime cut I had was venison backstrap. Marinated and slow cooked on a charcoal grill.

We saute that in butter for a few minutes yum that's my favorite cut of meat right there. My fam doesn't like it cause they like to cook the shit out of venison in a slow cooker. This cut is an exception for me. I can eat that rare easy. Mouth watering now. Lil salt n pepper hot sauce and some onions in butter. Good stuff. Beats cow meat.

Did someone say BEAR
 
Could be a big day for the Stank's. Wish us luck. Possible addition to the family!
 
:popcorn: Luck be your way!
